Okay, apparently no poll is coming. I guess I missed where it said to do one. Weird - I've done them before.

Anyway, I'm curious if you get a brain freeze, chest freeze, or both. My sons and I only get chest freezes, and my husband only gets brain freezes. None of us have ever had the other.

I have never had brainfreeze. I am a big Slurpee drinker and I get more of a throat freeze.

I usually just get a buzz

Of course that could be the amaretto, or vodka I add to my snowballs

Not always, but sometimes the roof of my mouth hurts like the dickens!

Same here. If I drink a slurpee or something quickly, I'll get a pain in my lower throat or chest (esophagus), but have never experienced a brain freeze.

It just seemed to me like people get one or the other, not both. And then I was wondering if it had something to do with physiology and how so.

That describes my DH and I.
