An even better (worse?) way to get a brain freeze is by eating home made ice cream! Once the ice cream has ripened, it appears so much colder than commercially prepared ice cream. The headache starts at the front, and works its way back across the top of the head. But it's worth it when you taste that fresh, creamy taste of homemade ice cream. Especially some great strawberry ice cream eaten with nice, salty potato chips! I don't want to hear any "YUCKS" until you have tried it!
