Brain freeze happens when something really cold touches your tongue, and it sends a message up to your brain. Imagine you're drinking a big slurp of ice cream, the cold goes straight into your mouth, and suddenly, poof! Your head feels like it's about to explode. That’s because your blood vessels in your head shrink when they get cold, making your brain feel pressure.
Examples
- Sipping a slushie too fast feels like your brain is screaming for help.
- Eating frozen yogurt in one go can make you think you’ve got a headache.
