This is Why We Get Brain Freeze

Is there anything that's a bigger buzzkill than brain freeze? I mean, it's a nice summer day and you've decided to treat yourself to your favorite ice cream, you're having an awesome time, and then it hits you: the debilitating sensation that's probably not unlike someone stabbing the inside of your brain with an old butter knife.

What's the cause of this thing, why do we get it, and what can we do to stop it?

This video below will hopefully help you get through your worst bout of brain freeze this summer--even if it doesn't actually prevent or end it, at least you can distract yourself during the fits of pain by imagining what's actually happening inside of your head and reminding yourself that it'll be over and that it's not that bad.

Okay, so it really is that bad. Sorry. I tried. Check the video below.
