mezarashi Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I wanted to ask about the science behind the feeling you get when you drink a cold liquid too quickly. You feel this rush of "coldness" up to your brain, and you simply must stop drinking until the "coldness" goes away. And is there even an official name for this?

bascule Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I wanted to ask about the science behind the feeling you get when you drink a cold liquid too quickly. You feel this rush of "coldness" up to your brain, and you simply must stop drinking until the "coldness" goes away. And is there even an official name for this? I believe the "technical" name is "ice cream headache" Here's an article about it: http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/314/7091/1364 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzurePhoenix Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 We pretty adamantly call it "brain-freeze" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezarashi Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Googling "brain-freeze": -7-Eleven registered the term "brainfreeze" in 1994 to communicate the painful joy of drinking a frozen Slurpee beverage. -Brainfreeze is also known as an "Ice Cream Headache", and "Frozen Brain Syndrome" Nice.
