Because it might be to cold for you. Some people can't take real cold things to drink like that. Just drink a reg. soda or juice not a frozen drink. I can't drink them cause I get brain freeze and nose freeze really

Believe it or not, a Doctor actually told me this. I think his last name was "Quack" or something.
