“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream” goes the popular tongue twister, based on a song written in the 1920s by American musicians Howard Johnson, Billy Moll, and Robert A. King.

And ice cream is indeed the perfect cold treat for a hot summer’s day, isn’t it? Except when it gets too cold! Sometimes, with the very first mouthful, the sudden chill of brain freeze rushes to your head, causing a sharp pain that lasts a few seconds. Brain freeze is also known as “ice cream headache” because that’s usually what causes it, but it can also come on when drinking chilled beverages.

It sure makes for an uncomfortable few seconds, doesn’t it?! Do you have any tips to prevent brain freeze? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
