eating ice cream to fast !
When cold stuff (like popsicles, ice cream or slushies) touches the roof of your mouth it can set off a nerve reaction (in the spheno-palantine ganglion, to be precise), that causes the blood vessels in your brain to swell. When the blood vessels swell, you get a headache.

Drinking frozen drinks too fast tries to freeze a nerve running to the brain.

It happens when you eat food at tem of 32f or lower.Your stomach sends your brain a signal that your food is to cold because you ate it so fast it can not warm it up all at once!!

Cold foods or liquids against the roof of your mouth. You can "cure" it by pressing your tongue against the roof of the mouth to warm it up.
