    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
  • 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.
  • @Stikbyte
    Matpat went through several different stages of pain during that brain freeze
  • @NashitaKhan
    As a med student, you explained the nerves and referred pain so well, that anyone could understand
  • @ofp8574
    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.
  • @bandtoaster938
    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
  • @finnplays0
    It's interesting to hear him describe the feeling of a brainfreeze as someone who has never experienced one, I guess I'm just a slow enough eater that it's never been a problem
  • @Sparc-qe1xp
    12:24 MatPat: "Ah that's cold" Will Smith: "Finally, a worthy opponent."
  • @audreyrina
    JD: gets a brain freeze and sings a song about how sad and traumatic his life has been Mat: gets a brain freeze and neighs like a horse
  • @rainbospud4316
    I didn't know I needed to see Matpat make weird noises and wave his arms in my life, but I'm very glad I did
  • @SyburrMSM
    Food Theory Idea: What makes a soup a soup? Can cereal be categorized as a soup? Can smoothies/milkshakes be categorized as a soup as well?
  • @LadyKatie13
    The baby goat sound in the end definitely threw me off. I had looked away and didn’t realize it was him actually making the sound 😂 all around good video! I have yet to find one I don’t like.
  • @TheOrangeRanger
    MatPat: I'm not a masochist. I just like to see what my body can take. also MatPat: For science!
  • @kstorym
    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.
  • MatPat: "Make sure you consume responsibly." Me: Totally hasn't been binging Food Theory all day...
  • 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
