Have You Ever Wondered Why?
Scientist have FINALLY figured out the real cause of brain Freeze.
When you drink something cold,extra blood rushes to your brain... That makes an artery behind your eyes expand, and causes the pain that we call "Brain Freeze." It's your body's self-defense mechanism... That artery is protecting the brain, trying to make sure it stays warm enough.
There's actually more of a benefit to this research than just some random knowledge on brain freeze. The scientists say it may be the key to figuring out better forms of headache and migraine relief.
Hey Chuck! drink this really really fast!!
