Anyone Else Get Brainfreeze or Ice Cream Headache

Post Reply New Topic

Never had this experience.

Brainfreeze is quite normal when drinking something ice-cold too fast. I never knew it was something you grew out of.

I seem sensitive to brain-freeze, even when I drink slushies and other cold drinks slowly. Last week I bought a root beer/cream soda slushie, and I ended up waiting until it was 2/3rd-melted before drinking it so I would feel like an icicle had stabbed me in the forehead.

The funny thing is that even though it's called brain freeze, you brain can't really feel anything at all.

Like most people here, I do get brainfreeze when I drink slushies and similar drinks too fast.

Not often, and I don't think I've ever gotten it from ice cream, but occasionally from downing more than just a little cold drinks. Come to think of it, it might only have happened with really cold water.

Funnily, it never happened when I was a kid so I didn't grow out of it

Not from ice cream but when my parents make smoothies its often ice cold and makes the back of my eye ache.

I get brainfreeze, I used to get them eating ice cream. I get brainfreeze when I’m drinking something really cold.
