Cherry Slurpee

Wow, it’s just like the cherry Slurpee I remember from when I was a young kid! Super cherry flavor and so refreshing. And of course, you get a wonderful red tongue as a bonus! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this trip back down memory lane. I was a kid again, if only for a little bit!

Cherry Slurpee

Oh, My Brain Hurts!

To really bring back the memories of having a cherry Slurpee as a child, I drank this fast enough to get a full-on brain freeze. I didn’t do it on purpose (who does?), but I wasn’t surprised that it happened!

This prompted me to look up brain freeze (aka an ice-cream headache) on Wikipedia: “Ice cream headaches” result from quickly eating or drinking very cold substances. It is commonly experienced when applying ice-cream (or similar) to the roof of the mouth (palate) or when swallowing it. Typically, the headache appears in about 10 seconds and lasts about 20 seconds. The term ice-cream headache has been in use since at least 31 January 1937.

Also try my no-carb sherbet pops, another great beat-the-heat treat.
