Do you know why you get headaches when you eat ice cream? At the back of the throat are arteries and nerves that go to the front of your head. When you quickly swallow ice cream, you chill the arteries. This chilling bug the nerves, which then send pain signals to your forehead, giving you a short, splitting headache.
