i've never had brain freeze, but I get "throat freeze" whereby the back of my throat KILLS if I drink a slushie too fast, worst.
TarrkertheNewt
I wondered why this never happens to me. Consuming too much frozen stuff just makes my throat hurt.
WhenYouMissoutOntheCoolUsernames
Holy fuck, I get throat freeze not brain freeze but eating ice cream like that would freeze my teeth.
BabyYodasChickenTendies
Throat freeze here too! One of us!
xoverthirtyx
I don’t get brainfreeze in my temples it’s always just the roof of my mouth.
TargaX
Same here. Roof of my mouth feels frozen and painful. Never felt it in my temples or anywhere else.
xoverthirtyx
Bet it’s the same for most people, they’re forcing a brain connection ‘cause Slurpee said ‘brainfreeze’ lol yeah blood to yr brain but still
nesticRAW
Pressing your tongue up against the roof will dissipate the pain more quickly.

just because you can doesn't mean you should

Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia sounds way cooler than 'brainfreeze'
EmmyCee
I could 100% feel that video
Vergenbuurg
That's pretty much my migraines. Artery constricts, causing temporary blindness, then overcompensates by opening up 5-10x in diameter.
graceinsheepsclothing
As a migraine person, it's so great that I have another edge on everyone else to have my head hurt. Awesome.
ItsjustDog
Can we get this reversed?
returningtothetangentathand
I don’t get brain freeze I just freezer burn the shit out of my esophagus. Anyone else?
DrunkSnowWhite
they're basically just extra strong cases of the thing you're describing. the sensation slowly goes up the back of your neck to your head
Vaanhalen
I get it but only on my left side. How weird is that
maditude
Yeah, utterly agonizing pain in the very top of my throat, but that's it. Probably requires a properly functioning brain :)
boobsalot
Yes that exact scenario. My chest hurts like heck.
Maleae
Yes! I called it throat freeze instead
Niggler21
There are Dozens of US!!!!!
clitorisclambake
I get both I thought everyone did, what the fuck
stoatinaboat
No brain freeze for me either.
PumpkinWitch
Got brain freeze just looking at it
WellThatsOriginal
Next time he saw ice cream
CloudCrack
I need to watch this with sound
StrictlyBull
Never had brain freeze. Can someone honestly explain how it feels?
josephalanbailey2212789000
Worse case scenario head feels like it will explode...
Kilsim1v
Just drink something.
Kilsim1v
*to immediately end the pain
neilwatkinsfromaccounting
You can stop brain freeze by pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth. I don't know how people don't know this...
arfysdad
Moaning and coming to on the floor also works, after some time has passed.
TrickyChlovers
I would press my thumb against the roof of my mouth too.
parkerh17
You can, but it can still last longer than one would hope.
HeatFromFire
Which one of you assholes DOESN'T get brainfreeze?
gamersamongus
Nobody ever believes me when I say I don't. Never had one in my life..
RedOvermorrow
I got in trouble when my brother said he doesn't get brainfreeze and I said "well, there's a natural prerequisite..."
Pcakester
do you drink frozen stuff with the straw pressed up against the top of your mouth? thats mostly what causes it
applejuicece
Brain freeze: nature's way of saying, "Slow down, speed racer!" Bet the ice cream thinks it's winning this round.
missbirdie
I’ve never had brain freeze. I do get what feels like a chest freeze though when I eat something cold too fast. Idk what that means
BklynPunisher
Means you’re a mutant.

How do we kill it?
BobaFettApproves
With fire. Just like everything else.
BlackoutAU
Swilling warm water will fix it instantly
ThepJup
lick the top of your mouth to warm it up
ThepJup
or drink slightly warm water. basically, just warm the top of your mouth.
Oogibah
Only 30 percent of us? Damn
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
The rest of us ENJOY IT
Sexy360
It feels like all of us.
astraIvoid
Ive only experienced it a handful of times, when I was little I never got it. When I do get it it lasts 30 seconds at most
Mexrose75
Why couldn’t I have the rare one with high metabolism instead.
Steven054
I'm not a huge fan of ice cream, but when I do have it I eat it slow like an adult so I don't get a brain freeze.
DemonicKat33
I don’t get brain freeze but I get throat freeze (coughing fit)
arfysdad
Mine hurts enough for the other 70%.
fh157
Never understood what brain freeze was, but throat freeze, gah, so painful.
thelegendarythirdleg
Yeah I’ve never had a brain freeze before
3MsAndaJTL
It’s very real, look up images of even very little kiddos getting it. Quite funny
TheMcCswanszle
I wonder what percent get throat freeze
Techpriest93
It's more like 40% not 30%. Also it's way more prevalent in men than women. Also also if you get brain freezes your unlikely to get throat
Techpriest93
>freezes or chest freezes, and if you get throat freezes you are unlikely to get chest freezes. Vise versa.
BlackAssMamaWhiteAssDaddy
Yeah, the rest are lucky to get fresh water, let alone frozen-corn syrupy beverages for refreshment ;)
Tortfeas0r
JustABookworm
The sample size is 13 people, and the source of the freeze is a straw. Might not be as accurate as a spoon of ice cream or as 1k people.
InquisitorOctaviusoftheOrdoMalleus
Ever had kidney freeze feels like someone punched you
Oogibah
No but I did that to someone.. I'm 175, a friend of mine in highschool who weighed like 400lbs jumped on my back once and while he was 1/2
xoxoRosita
I think you’re referring to an adrenaline rush. Your adrenal glands sit on your kidneys. You can feel them during an adrenaline rush
InquisitorOctaviusoftheOrdoMalleus
Actually referring to a feeling similar to brain freeze in my kidneys after eating/drinking something cold happens rarely to me.
Oogibah
2/2 walking away laughing about how I crumbled like a sac of potatoes, I ran up and kidney shot him full charge
REDF0RMANSF00T
My old man has never had one. He can eat ice cream at warp speed.
AmnesiacAUS
30 percent of people showing up for a free slurpee stuck around to do the study*
TheGreenPsych
I wonder what it's like, but it looks painful
Dustfinger4268
It's a very sharp pain. Honestly can't think of anything else common that feels quite like it
Rkfinecake
It really hurts. It's happened while I was driving and I had to pull over. Right between the eyes.
Oogibah
Its a very piercing pain.. it's like somebody was taking like an acupuncture needle and stabbing your brain with it
Sutashi
For me it's like a very sharp headache right on the bridge of your nose just between the eyes. Doesn't last long but can really hurt.
anominousbeef
Honestly I dont think it hurts the same way other things hurt. Its just so overwhelming. Like not so much ow as uhhhhh what is this.....½
anominousbeef
I mean it definitely is pain but it's more like the pain from your leg falling asleep and its starting to wake up. It isnt like a nutshot.
parkerh17
Agreed, it is intense but also unique.
burntcustard
I don't get brain freeze or hiccups, but my pancreas doesn't work. Swings and roundabouts yo
sp00ksNtootz
I also don’t get brain freezes or a working pancreas... but hiccups are a thing
MyNameIsntChris
Is there any explanation on hiccups? I used to have it when I was a kid, but haven't had it for almost 10 years now. Seemed odd
calebzia
Diabeetus?
whatyoushouldnotdo
I get brain freeze and hiccups, my pancreas doesn't work either, hey, I have a trifecta!
giraffytaffy
Same!
Rkfinecake
I was going to say aha causation and correlation but you ruined it.
HatinS8N
I don’t get brain freeze. My pancreas kind of works and my poor judgment continues to fire on all cylinders
katarang
You win!!
AnalSexInTheWoodsDontMakeBabies
What does the pancreas do?
HarryHighpantss
Allows you to see colours. When you hear about "colorblind " people, they're really talking about people with removed/faulty pancreas.
giraffytaffy
Produce endocrine hormones. In Type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas and kills them.
jcow1995
Exactly
DeliriousDerp
Yea, I don't believe that. I've never met anyone that doesn't get brain freeze.
AnTwizz
I've definitely noticed I have a high threshold for brain freeze. I can eat mildly frozen ice cream without problem depending on the speed.
Iwillalwaysdownvoteyourchildren
I've never had a brainfreeze. Chew ice, press popsicles on the roof of my mouth as I eat. Never felt it.
xoxoRosita
I absolutely love chewing ice. Never had a brain freeze either
xoxoRosita
I have never had a brain freeze. When I was a kid I thought they were made up for TV to know when actors are drinking something cold
Oogibah
My fiance doesn't get them
Khornight
Another in the long list of people you’ve not met telling you over the internet i don’t get it... never heard of it till my kids mum told me
drinkALLthemilk
I don't get brain freeze. I have (many times) downed an entire large Frosty from Wendy's in 30 seconds and been fine.
Sutashi
I have. They were all Asian. I've hear the majority of Asians don't get brain freeze. No idea if that's true but could explain the percent.
HarryHighpantss
javaMakesMeAnxious
I've never met anyone who does. When I was little and only saw it on TV, I assumed it was american thing :D
QotU
dedkoala
You almost certainly have but it's an obscure topic, I doubt it's been brought up in conversation with even your closest friends
WushuTofu
I'm with you... I don't believe that, 30 is way too low
regicidalveggie
The sample size was 13?
parkerh17
Maybe they got the same result 13 times in a row?
MTbound
This was probably to see the inner workings of the brain freeze, not the total population of brain freezes
Yuri087
To study the brainfreeze itself, not to gather statistical data.
SomeUsernameICreatedOneDay
The 30% # is from a different study; they mention it here for context. Their study of 13 was to watch the process work, need fewer for that.
JustABookworm
Oh
bearjew1990
And concluded 30% of the population. This why you don't just believe people when they say, "according this a study...". Which study, by whom
bearjew1990
What were it's parameters.
[deleted]

Yuri087
This wasnt about getting statistics, it was about studying the physiological cause of a brain freeze.
deathpeppers
I'm sorry, what? That's not how statistical significance works.
ThePeruvianFluteband
A sample that small can't yield results, statistically speaking. Thus, bullshit. Ex. I can prove a coin will land heads more with 13 tries.
ThePeruvianFluteband
I may even result in 10 heads meaning nothing because if the bigger the sample, the closer to 50/50 (the truth).
ILikeFugu
If it lands heads all 13 times, then by P=0.0001, you'd have something
NdotGreeze
Not a ton of grant money allotted for brain freeze resesrch.
insongwhang
Not a ton was required to give everyone a glass of ice water
BestDadPiccolo
They needed the grant to offer giftcards as compensation for participating.
orlacrab1
You will be amazed how much a research assistant cost
