I really could have used this clip before last weekend. I had my first brain-freeze ever and it was bad!!!

BTW, this was featured in today's Clipiversity - thanks for the great clip!

Fracture

By far the best ice-cream headache inducer (if you're into the whole masochism thing) is chugging a Dairy Queen Mr. Misty.

I agree with Fracture that a Mr. Misty from DQ can easily bring on brain freeze. On a hot day a cold Mr. Misty tastes wonderful...until you forget and take a big slurp.

		<P><DIV>Lifehacker's Top 10 Body Hacks, #3:  If you sip on that frozen margarita too fast, you'll have an ice cream headache in no time.  Stop it with a simple tongue technique:  </DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
"Press your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much as you can. "Since the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, your body thinks your brain is freezing, too," says [Ben Abo, an emergency medical- services specialist at the University of Pittsburgh.] "In compensating, it overheats, causing an ice-cream headache." The more pressure you apply to the roof of your mouth, the faster your headache will subside."
