Hey, I close my left ear when the MTR is too noisy... And I thought it's funny that that works, so this is why!

i think the purpose of that it's to put your tongue (which is warm) on the back of your throat to warm it up. What is causing brainfreeze it's the sudden cold who go through your throat. The brain interpreted it as a pain so send it a pain impulse. The brain can be a pain in the a$$ sometime :-)

Actually it is a response to a blood vessel in the back of your throat. The vessel feels the cold and it immediately dilates which sends a rush of blood to your brain which causes the brain freeze. Drink some warm water to restrict the vessel and it will go away.

I've never had a brain freeze. Does this mean I do not have a brain? Omg!

Brain freeze happens when the roof of your mouth gets too cold, so I find rubbing my tongue quickly against the roof works to heat it more quickly

Is that why or is it because sneeze rhymes with brain freeze?

It's because you're projecting the heat from your tongue to your brain, (at least thats what i was told in school)

This helps a little, but does not eliminate the problem. Try to avoid having cold stuff touch the roof of your mouth at all.

A better explanation would be, to put your thumb in your mouth and blow. As if you were blowing up a balloon. It's the bearing down that slows your heart rate.
