Brain freeze: Why ice cream makes some scream

 #BrainFreeze,#Popsicle #Slush  #IceCream  Most people have likely experienced brain freeze — the debilitating, instantaneous pain in the temples after eating something frozen — but researchers didn't really understand what causes it, until now. Previous studies have found that migraine sufferers are actually more likely to get brain freeze than people who don't get migraines. Because of this, the researchers thought the two might share some kind of common mechanism or cause, so they decided to use brain freeze to study migraines. Headaches like migraines are difficult to study because they are unpredictable. Researchers aren't able to monitor a whole one from start to finish in the lab. They can give drugs to induce migraines, but those can also have side effects that interfere with the results. Brain freeze can quickly and easily be used to start a headache in the lab, and it also ends quickly, which makes monitoring the entire event easy. The researchers br...

How shutting down your feelings can be disastrous to your relationship.

  #Emotions #HealthyRelationships #Communication Research has shown that suppressing your emotions pretty well shuts down communication within that relationship. Let's chat about what the findings from one study might mean for your relationship. James Gross, a scientist who studies emotion, found that when we try to suppress emotion, this is what happens: • It's very hard to do - basically it doesn't work. We have to work very hard to shut an emotion down once it is up and running, and in the process, we often get more agitated and tense. This is especially true in close relationships when the trigger for the emotion, the other person, is still there giving us signals that get us all fired up. • Emotion doesn't stay inside our skin. When we try to shut feelings off, the people we are relating to also get more and more tense. When we are denying our feelings, our partners probably get tense because our faces register our feelings way faster than the thinking part of the ...

How Cambodian Refugees Started the Pink Doughnut Box Trend (Watch)

#Doughnut  #PinkBox  #CambodianAmerican  #Refugees  Like the red-and-green cardboard pizza boxes or white Chinese takeout containers, many doughnut boxes share a certain look regardless of where you buy them. This is especially true in Southern California: Order a dozen crullers from one of the region's many independently-run doughnut shops and you’ll likely receive them in a glossy pink box. According to  Great Big Story , this trend can be traced back to an influential immigrant business owner. In the 1970s, Ted Ngoy moved to Southern California as a refugee from Cambodia. Much of Los Angeles's current doughnut scene is thanks to him: He opened dozens of doughnut shops of his own and helped fellow Cambodian refugees in the area get started in the business. Along with passing down entrepreneurial advice, he also inspired them to choose the light pink boxes that he used in his stores. As Ngoy recalled  years later , either he or his business part...

These Vintage L.A. Chicken Joints Have Yet to Kick the Bucket

#Chicken #Dinahs #Friedchicken #JimDandy #PioneerTake-Out The resurgence of fried chicken is upon us, and these three classic L.A. fried chicken outlets have stuck around long enough to enjoy the renaissance . Pioneer Take-Out Rick Kaufman ran a shoeshine parlor and laundromat in Echo Park before frying his first bird there in 1960. His chef mascot, Pioneer Pete, soared above 270 stores until the business went bankrupt in 1988. Two beloved phantom stores survive in Boyle Heights and Bell Gardens. Jim Dandy Food-service giant Host International debuted this chicken-centric spin-off in 1969 with 29 restaurants, mostly in South Los Angeles. A decade later the company dumped the money-losing chain before being swallowed by Marriott. Locations remain on Vermont Avenue and Manchester Boulevard. Dinah’s Even though both Dinah’s sites share the same broasting (pressure frying) technique and iconic polka-dot boxes, they inhabit two universes: The 1959 origina...
