These episodes are just an excuse for MatPat to each as much junk food as he wants and have an excuse to not be judged
you're not wrong.
Guess you'll never know what my comment was😕
I was thinking about that too
But it’s just a theory, A FOOD THEORY
MatPat has channels that allows him to watch, play, and eat, to his heart's content.
A good follow-up to this theory would be "cures" to brain freeze, curling the tongue, the thumb method, sipping a non frozen drink, breathing into your hands. Which ones work and are most effective at completely eliminating them and which act the fastest.
This is an awesome idea!

Omggg
The best remedy hot fudge mountains of it
I know you're like saying this to like pitch an idea for matpat and not receive feedback but I'm kinda curious what others think. Because for me it's drinking another drink.
Thumb trick almost always works for me immediately, but then again my body is really warm always soooo...
Matpat went through several different stages of pain during that brain freeze
bro had a seizure
The bots are here already
And not the several stages of grief, I'll tell you-
I like matpat he funi
He went through every single stage of grief and then some in an instant
As a med student, you explained the nerves and referred pain so well, that anyone could understand
As a med student, you should've noticed that his explanation for referred pain was completely wrong...
fr i’m a dumb 12 year old and I can understand 😭
The point that most people aren't affected by "brain freeze" cleared up a lot of initial confusion, because my forehead doesn't ache when eating cold things. I always thought people were referring to the cold sensation in the back of the roof of the mouth, which is where I feel it.

I wish this channel had a massive budget so you could get an MRI while having a brain freeze and see if anything is different
I believe if I know what your talking about they prob should not do that because an MRI has a lot of radiation, so you probably should not get a MRI unless you need to.
@@windznspirals You’re thinking x-rays, MRIs use magnetic whatever, no radiation.
would it be an MRI or a Brain scan? Or both? What about all 3, X-ray, MRI, Brain Scan, all at the same time.
That'd just liquify someones brain /j
@@jaxmorningstar6703 im pretty sure that a brain scan is just a different way of sain MRI

MatPat, in case no one has said it: I use brain freezes to "cure" my migraines. I'm super miserable for like 3 minutes but then the brain freeze "thaws" and the migraine is gone.
That's so interesting! Definitely gonna try this. Thanks for the tip!
Maybe it's like the thing of honey for hiccups. Your nerves get distracted feeling the brain freeze so when it's over they've more or less 'forgotten' about the migraine
Tempted to try but brain freeze has brought on a migraine
@@dogg-fish3912 that's always been my best guess.
@@MichiruEll i would suggest you not to take way too much cold stuff to get rid of migraines so best if you get some sleep or eat something thats warm.

Related observation: Brain Freezes appear to be train-immunity viable. For my entire life I did in fact get brain freezes- but through a (diet-coke esq) addiction to 7-11 slurpees over the years I can not recall the last time I actually had a brain freeze. This leads me to believe that the body may, assuming the scientific explanation holds true, be able to learn and adapt to the repeated sensations and prevent the reaction.
I think you maybe just made those specific cells numb to brain freezes, or the body got so used to the pain that it doesn’t register it. I had something similar happen to me with dark chocolate-used to give me headaches and now it’s barely anything
Can y'all help me with my math test?

@@connor0103 come on guess we gotta help this man he went to RUclips for help on his math lmaoo
@Connor Dauzat 1 +1 = 2
Fun fact: I never had brain freeze until after I had my tonsils removed. Since then it happens so easily it's crazy
I have never gotten brainfreeze, I was suprised it happened to my friends so fast, it's still not good for my body when I eat a lot of cold stuff, even plain slushi, but it doesn't cause pain to my forehead
Yeah I've never gotten a brain freeze yet, I tried with my friends and I'm invincible lol
I had my tonsils removed but I think I still did have brain freezes
Perhaps some nerves are more easily exposed enhancing the effect.
ive also had my tonsils removed, but i didnt get brain freezes before or after
Matpat was genius for making all of these channels, allowing him to watch, play, dress, and eat as much and as long as he wants
Think you could do a food theory test to see what the best way is to relieve a brain freeze? I would be legitimately interested to watch that video
He's really out here putting his life on the line for science

50:10 was amazing
As soon as I found out that when the roof of your mouth gets really cold it results to brainfreeze, I refrain hitting the roof of my mouth while having cold desserts or beverages. And when I get too excited and intake too much of those, I notice the roof of my mouth get cold, and I either slow down, reajust the position of my straw or both. Never had a brainfreeze for years after that
Same here... Far back roof of mouth. As long as it doesn't touch that tonsil type area, no problem eating ice chips all day long. Mouth can be numb and no brain freeze, as long as that one spot doesn't get direct contact. Also get regular migraines... Far more than brain freeze and I'm a frozen treat fiend 😅
From what I’ve seen from some science shows if you press the tongue to the roof of your mouth during brain freeze if should stop it faster apparently because it’s warming up your mouth not sure if that’s misinformation tho
Or I start getting a brainfreeze and i put my warm tongue to the roof of my mouth
The first thing I did was grab the nearest cold drink and start chugging while ensuring it hit the roof of my mouth
For science
I've never had a brain freeze. Idk how but I get that cold pain in the back of my chest. XD
Would totally also love to know what happened with the people who don’t get brain freezes but get weird chest freeze/pain
Might that be the Referred Pain he briefly mentioned?
I get that sometimes. I also get brain freezes in the back of my neck or throat.
That’s me I never get brain freeze but I get like a weird chest freeze
I get like. Back freezes
@@arctic_brothers728 that’s so interesting o.O
mans went through all the stages of grief in the first few seconds, and even turning into a sheep in the process
Keep up The work!!
8:44 as an Engineer I love the fact he brought up specific heat. I'm also curious if the specific heat of the delivery mechanism (spoon or straw) also plays into effect. "Cold steel" is actually room temperature, but it transfers energy away from that contact point making it feel "cold".
I was just about to mention how I appreciate the specific heat reference as well! 👍👍
As someone who gets migraines and headaches a lot, brain freeze doesn’t bother me that bad. Great video.
After watching this video you will never love MatPat:
ruclips.net/video/cAQxPSwM4h0/видео.html
same!! That really confused me
same! my teeth are sensitive to cold and it hurts so much more that I don't even notice brain freeze anymore lol
My S.O. is the same way. They get migraines and headaches a lot, but rarely get brain freeze. On the flip side, I could almost say I never get migraines and headaches, but if I take one too many slurps of slushy and my brain feels like it exploded in my skull.
That's how I am and I was confused bc I experience debilitating migraines sometimes but I don't ever get brain freeze even if I cosume it faster than normal just has never happened even as a kid
If you pass out as suggested depending on how you fall, what you hit / landed on and from how high you fell you could easily die. I suggest sitting down if you've ever had that problem.
0:03 whats going down those pants matpat 💀
Something that I've found interesting as a chronic migraineur is that inducing a brain freeze (usually) helps to eliminate or decrease a migraine for me. I know a lot of people use ice packs for migraines but that isn't very effective for me personally. Having the cold inside my mouth is much more effective.
Neat, I want to try this. I wonder if it also has to do with the contents of the frozen treat. Often when I get a migraine due to medication I find sugar helps as well.
I never knew “migraneur” was a real word
@@pidgeonsofthegods1482 it's not a super common one but it is indeed a word! I think most people would just say they have migraines or they get migraines or that they're a migraine sufferer but migraineur is also a correct term
That’s interesting because cold makes mine worse. I have to take a hot shower with no lights on to get it to stop.
interesting. what helps me most for headaches/ migraines I found is wrapping a cold moist towel around my head and lying down with it. I might try the eat cold trick
I have never goten a brain-freeze, I thought it was just when your throat hurts because it gets too cold so I have always been confused why it's called a brain-freeze but now I know what it really is and that not everyone gets brain-freezes
It's like searing cold pressure either up the side of your jaw & along your forehead or a cramping, heartburn type feeling from your throat to your chest. Whatever your eating has to be pretty cold to start it & the fast you had it (usually) the worse it is.
Yes same! I always say "throat freeze Ahhh" when I get what I always thought was the brain freeze sensation around friends
exactly the same thing for me too
Glad I’m not the only one. People are often very confused when I tell them I get throat freeze instead of brain freeze
Yeah same, I’ve never had a brain freeze, but I’ve had throat freezes before.
just apply pressure with your tongue to the roof of your mouth when you start getting a brain freeze. the warmth of your tongue should stop it relatively quickly. i’ve been doing this since i was little and it works every time lol
i just realised i’ve watched every food theory video and idk what to do now
As someone who gets migraines often, brain freezes can be significantly worse! My last brain freeze was 7 days ago, and while the main part of the pain felt, lasted about 5 minutes (timed) I experienced "aftershock" where even 4 days later, I would have random spurts of the brain freeze returning for 10 or so seconds. It would not be because of heat or coolness, just my brain being nagging me about that time I drank my smoothie too fast.
actually that is probably not brain freeze. I have migraines too, and I don’t get brain freeze but recently I started getting very short headaches that were sharp and a lot like typical brainfreeze although not triggered by anything. (always in the same area too) my neurologist said people with migraines are at risk for a type of headache called an “ice pick headache” which is probably what you are having based on your symptoms. Brain freeze shouldn’t be recurring, and considering you have migraines it makes more sense for you to have this type of headache. Thankfully, there are medicines for it so if it’s still an issue ask your doctor
@@crypticshadows yea, I've dealt with doctors for over 20 years now and they've never been able to help me, in fact 2 of them insisted I was drug seeking. I'm currently just dealing with it and self medicating when needed.
@@MimicGriphon Have you tried seeing a neurologist? I noticed they tend to know more than a regular doctor. Also, that was the same for me for quite a while but then eventually I found a medication that worked (it was discounted so we needed to get it from a compound pharmacy) it works so well in fact that it has stopped my migraine in 15 minutes! The name is midrin if you are interested.
@@crypticshadows wow thank you for bringing up the term ice pick headache. need to remember that one for when im in need of explaining my brain pains
@@jcfoxington9138 yeah it’s a pretty good term for a headache lol. rlly gets the point across in terms of how it feels too 😭
I'd love to see the science behind competitive eating. Or what's going on in shows like man vs food. It seems impossible to eat so much and not have severe medical damage.
There was a little bit of talk on this topic on his video about killing yourself from eating
I watched a video about this about a month ago.
Most competitive eaters eat constricted and healthy meals.
They eat near zero calorie foods such as watermelon regularly to help keep their stomachs large enough for competition.
The foods they eat in practice and competition are NOT the majority or even a large part of their normal eating.
As for absorbing all the stuff from competitions, well, it's no different from in the wilds, fasting then feasting.
Their bodies will take what they can, store what they can and the rest will pass through.
Occasional spikes of junk in an otherwise healthy lifestyle shouldn't cause too much of an issue.
Good suggestion
Didn't they already do a video on competitive hot dog eating or something like that? Maybe I'm remembering another channel but I thought it was Food Theory
@@crackball22 it was food theory
I got hit in the head with a basketball and my head hit the wall behind me. Now I only get light headaches and brain freezes at the cost of two concussions.
Currently watching this on Monday January 1st 2024 at 12:12 am, happy new year!!
Unfortunately for dear Matpat, he failed to realize that Cluster Headaches are vastly different from all the rest. Instead of constricting as others do, the vein involved dilates further beyond normal and crushes a very important nerve. This unique process sends a pain signal that feels like a hot poker being inserted into one of your eyes, depending on which side of the nerve is being crushed. This causes the eye to look bloodshot. I know this because one of my older brothers suffers from it. Don't lump Clusters in with the others, because they're a very different beast altogether.
E
@@EEEEEEEE Relatable?
I've read accounts from people saying they've been put down for days at a time because of cluster headaches. I believe there was a guy who found that the only thing to help his cluster headaches was taking Psilocybin or Magic mushrooms.
My movie compares the body to lose angles
ok that's cool but can you get every headache at once?
The first 13 seconds perfectly describe what it's like to drink from a cold water fountain with sensitive teeth
It's the worst feeling ever
Or the sound of styrofoam rubbing together 😬
Or worse with just having brushed your teeth
@@Pharo_Is_Dead for me, it’s wooden graphite pencils. Styrofoam is fine for me, in fact it’s quite pleasing. Something about the scratching of the graphite (specifically wooden pencils, not mechanical) just makes my ears screech.
I don’t usually get brain freeze, but when I eat cold things, I usually feel it in the back of my throat and almost in my stomach
i love the last noise he made, i seriously thought a nany nearby was getting abused
Hey guys, today we'll be trying to get the worst brain freeze possible to test whether or not I die!!

Years ago, just from personal experience, i figured that brain freeze happened when ever the roof of my mouth would get too cold from what ever i was eating of drinking and a straw (just like you found out) was like a death ray of cold stuff right to the vulnerable spot. But i also found that if i curled my tongue, in side my mouth, and pressed it against the roof of my mouth, the brain freeze would only last like 15-30 sec

when I was young, I got such a bad brain freeze that I literally don't get brain freeze anymore no matter how much ice cream I eat. My throat just gets really cold.
I’m the opposite. As a kid I once ate icees so fast and didn’t stop eating until I suddenly started getting brain freezes when before, I did not.
You might've had a minor nerve damage there. But hey, if it doesn't affect anything else like your speech or your senses, I guess you got a good deal out of it!

Matpat I got a theory/question: Can you lessen the severity of a food allergy? I've heard about oral immunotherapies where the recipient eats a certain amount of that food to increase the amount of allergen necessary to trigger a reaction. What I wish to know is does this really work?
To some extent it can. My mother suffers from a rare condition that essentially makes her immune system trigger when she eats (like being allergic to food entering the body) however, things she had previously eaten a lot of, she had mo problem eating after this started. Anything new she wants to eat, she has to eat 1 gram of a day, often for months, and some foods, like Garlic, Onion, or Apples, she likely will never be able to eat again, the reaction is just too strong even at low doses. So yes, but not easily, and not always.
ruclips.net/video/efDs1_y_QWo/видео.html
This would be interesting, and I'd love to see a video on this. Especially why it works for some and not others. Both myself and my brother had a severe dairy allergy when we were younger, and we did some kind of immunotherapy. My brother is now no longer allergic to anything, but my allergies got worse.
YES. plus how does it work with diffrent allergies, and intolerances? what about some developed later in life?
It definitely does work
Funny how your episodes line up almost perfectly with what I'm learning in school. I just started learning about water and specific temperatures were one of the properties we looked at. I'm not joking this has happened before and I'm not mad about it. I actually think it's really cool and I hope it happens again. You could also do a mini theory on why water is wet but you decide if you wanna do that or not.

@@elizabethoreoluwa he probly is
This episode has taught me that I've never had a brain freeze before and I'm very grateful for that 😅
This is a question that I didn’t know I needed
After watching this I've realized something, my whole life I thought a "brain freeze" was just the cold feeling on the roof of my mouth, but after watching this I learned that it isn't a figure of speech and it actually hurts people at the head area, finding this out I've also realized I have never not once gotten a head ache, and I LOVE the cold, that also goes for cold food, and now I'm kinda concerned, is there something wrong with me, or am I just better than everyone?? I want answers...
Edit: just watched more of the video and herd him say brain freeze only effects one third of the population, my b 😬
nah, thanks for sharing. It helps us understand what's been going on the whole time. all these people saying they like brain freezes.
It’s definitely odd that some people (myself included) don’t get brain freezes, the weirdest part for me is that i get frequent migraines but I’ve never had a brain freeze in my entire life
Yeah. Just wondering why I've never had a brain freeze.
SAME! So many migraines and various other headaches, but I’ve never ever gotten brain freeze. Chest freeze on the other hand? Almost always.
Whats brain freeze? I dont know how its supposed to feel.
DAM
@@Br1ckeat3rr Sudden sharp pain. Like a normal headache but concentrated into about 20 seconds.
That “newehhh” at the start… I felt that
I get back freeze. Like my back starts to hurt whenever I eat cold stuff too fast. And it also makes sense as to why when people get brain freeze, sometimes people might tell you to put your tongue to the roof of your mouth. And it does work. In the few times I've gotten brain freeze, it's gone away pretty quickly the moment I put my tongue to the roof of my mouth.
Oddly enough, despite the pain of brainfreeze when I was a kid was something I thought was refreshing (when the pain went away) and fun to get... why, I don't know. So whenever the few times I was alowed a slushie as a kid, I would intentionally get brainfreeze. It was part of the experience, I guess. Haven't had a slushie in a long time.
Me too,.. whenever I go to 7/11, I really prefer to quickly consume my slushies and have that "relief" after the few seconds of "pain" of the Brain freeze... I'm not a masochist though 🤣
JD is that you
It's interesting to watch this because I've never really had brain freeze, or at least how some do. For a long time I thought brain freeze happened in the throat because anytime I ate anything cold too fast, all that would happen is my throat would start hurting from how cold it was. It's cool to learn that I just don't really get the traditional brain freeze.
Same here, just realized brainfreeze does indeed happen on your head and not in your throat or chest like I thought xD
I get both
@@potatobread5882 I wonder if the pain is worse with a brain freeze instead of our throats, there's no real need to find out but I'm curious now xD
Same for me too!
Yeah I get the throat freeze too, that's what my family calls it because we all feel it in the throat. What's weird to me though is I get frequent severe migraines and don't have brain freeze so... Guess I'm just weird?
Thanks for putting your life for science!
First food theory vid recommended after your goodbye what theory to watch
I've spent way to long in my life thinking that "brain freeze" was felt in the very back of your throat because I've never had an actual brain freeze before. Honestly it's kind of surprising that I *don't* get brain freeze since my mom, aunt, and grandma all get migraines.
Similar situation here! I thought I experience brain freeze, because when I drink something too quickly I get a horrible, unbearable pain in the back of my throat due to the cold. I just thought the term "brain freeze" was a weird generalization that didn't accurately describe the placement of the pain. I was surprised to realize that people literally meant they felt it in their head and not the back of their throat. My head never hurts from brain freeze, but the pain in my throat is still debilitating and makes me immediately stop doing what I'm doing regardless
@@amberlon Interesting. I could see that being either a direct sensitivity to cold in the back of your throat or possibly a referred pain similar to regular brainfreeze but for you it travels to a different location.
the throat thing isn't a brain freeze?
I've actually never witnessed a brain freeze before. I don't get headaches when drinking too fast, I instead get throat freezes. Where my throat gets so cold it hurts
I can imagine if you didn't have one, but have you never seen anyone having one?
I only get throat freezes, too! I always thought that was what "brain freeze" was but people just called it something dramatic 😂
@@arthurg.machado6803 no I've seen it, where people just grab Their heads saying it's a brain freeze
@@ladybugamks SAME THO XD for the longest time I thought that was a brain freeze until someone told me what it actually was, and I was like ooooooohhh
“throat freezes” would just be you consumed too much if the liquid
12:07 awww so cute!! :DDDD
0:07 My windshield wipers when it's raining
That makes sense why most of my 'brain freeze' pain feels like it's stabbing the back of my eye. Drinking drinks with ice blended in/slushies way too fast does seem to be the no. 1 way to get brain freeze for me (though tbh it's because i take my time with ice cream so I've never really experienced brain freeze from ice cream/frozen yogurt).
I have an idea for a theory episode! According to science what are the best ingredients to use in an energy bar? Especially considering people with hypoglycemia who need to eat fairly often, what would be best for them?
Hmmm it seems someone might have hypoglycemia.....
That would be interesting tho
For me, i look for a combo of simple sugars and protein. Sugar is a quick fix that helps when i sugar low and protein to take over once the sugar wears off. Trail mix is good because of the milk choc and nuts. Candy bars with nuts. Cheese and meat are also good. Or drinking a glass of orange juice. I found that the healther protein bars dont work well for when you are in a sugar low. Not enough quick sugar. But they help keep you from getting there.

I love how MatPat literally encouraged us to torture ourselves with Brain freezes for science.
This has got to be my favorite food-themed channel.
tbh same

It better be
If its not the kitchen nightmares channel then you're a sad sad person

You're exactly right, i have vasovagal syncope. And was told my faints and falls doctor if i'm overheating be careful with cold drinks can trigger an attack.
I never understood why it was called Brain Freeze, as Ive never experienced them. I only feel chills on the roof of my mouth but never up on my forehead. So ty for explaining this phenomenon!
11:11 Lmao! Matpat is giving on the same vibe here as that viral pufferfish video hahaha
I've never had a brain freeze, but I do get migraines (they're the worst when I'm on my period). Mentioning that people who get migraines are more likely to get brain freezes is interesting to me!
If I’ve ever had a brain freeze, I was too young to remember. I eat ice, ice cream, slushies, etc with no issue. I have headaches, but no migraines. It’s always interesting to think how different other people have it.
I’ve only ever had about four migraines. I do get brain freeze but it doesn’t last. It hits for about half a minute to a full minute and then I’m completely fine. It’s usually gone by the time I go “aw brain freeze”.
Omg we have the same name. How cool
My wife doesn’t get brain freezes only migraines. But she says that if she is having one, eating ice cream always helps a little. Maybe attempt to get a brain freeze while having a migraine and see if that helps.
& I don't get migraines, but get brain freeze so bad I can't have slushies at all anymore >.
That's strange considering I have migraines all the time but I don't usually get brain freezes. Weird.
12:07 best sounds ever
Hey mat I was always interested in how much damage a jawbreaker could do? Can it actually break your jaw?
Jawbreaker is a hard demon- Oh wait wrong video

@@lol_oker Yes
You are just risking the poor guys life
Yes! I'd love to see this. Good idea
Wish I can see an uncut version, from start to finish, of MatPat starting to drink and eat his way to a brain freeze, having it, then finishing off his cold treats. That'll be interesting
My cluster headaches feel like a 2+ hour constant brain freeze
I'm binging his videos
I don't experience brain freeze, I actually tend to eat ice cubes straight out of the freezer as a casual snack
i chew on ice cream and when it comes to cocktails/iced drniks, i tend to eat/chew the ice cubes too
You may be low on iron friend
Your teeth don't hurt?
But that Is not touching the roof or your mouth. So no brain freeze o
You eat WHAT as a casual snack?
This man went through UNBELIEVABLE PAIN for a food theory episode.
Respect.
Even though I don't get brain freeze and can literally finish a tub of ice cream like nothing, these videos are great.
Is anyone gonna talk about how he sounded like a door creaking at 0:08
My mother said that she's never gotten brain freeze, instead, she felt an equivalent pain in her neck. It was always so funny and strange to me.
I’ve never gotten a brain freeze either, but my gums hurt instead
*The Food Theorists IS GARBAGE!*

@@user-lk2ex7ng8r bruh,shut up bot idc
Same I always felt it in my neck, idk why though
That happens to me, and it ends in the chest. It's crippling, feels like I'm dying. I love it.
MatPat may have just theorized a more comfortable cure for ‘incurable’ hiccups.
Chugging a slurpee stimulates the vagus nerve?
Sounds way better than some of the other ways to stimulate that nerve…
4:37 Therapist: Bald MatPat doesn’t exist. He can’t hurt you. Bald MatPat:
Mat liking slushies and wanting brain freeze, then me being a heathers fan: he’s literally JD
This was really interesting. My mum stopped drinking slushies and thickshakes after a couple of scary incidents. She took one sip of a slushie that gave her so much pain she thought she was going to pass out. It messed with her vision and she had to sit down until it passed. And one time she was drinking a thickshake and she did pass out for a moment. I saw her eyes roll back and she almost fell out of her chair before I caught her. She wasn't answering any of my questions and didn't respond at all. It was only a few seconds but she wasn't even aware that's she'd been non responsive. Really scared me!
this type of stuff used to happen to me so bad when i was on a certain medication. i have never had such painful and scary brain freezes before
