So I got one of the new Fruitista Freezes at Taco Hell today because it’s like a million degrees outside in Memphis today. I got the just Strawberry instead of the Strawberry Mango, ‘cos sometimes mango doesn’t taste too good to me.
I give it a pretty enthusiastic thumbs up, even with the half dozen ice cream headaches that came with it.
The Squirrel Queen claims that one can relieve brain freeze by pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth, adding that it warms the nerve endings there that cause the ache. And Rachel agreed with her. But I dunno about that, that sounds awfully weird to me. I’ll try it next time tho.

It really does work, you can touch your fingertip there too, but that’s too unsanitary for my taste

OK, well now that’s three of you that’ve said that, I’m definitely going to have to try it next time. Gives me a good reason to go get another Fruitista Freeze this week, hehe.

I saw it ages ago watching the Today Show one morning. Next time I got brain freeze,I remembered the trick and lifted my tongue up to the roof of my mouth and the headache was gone. I’ve used it ever since.
