Its caused when the back of the roof of your mount gets too cold. There is an artery there that supplies blood to your brain. (right where the roof of your mouth gets soft in the back) Just don't get ice cream on that spot and you are fine.

I heard you're supposed to put your tongue to the roof of your mouth, because it's your soft palate that freezes up. :P

Step 1. Eat more ice cream. If you can fight fire with fire, then you can fight cold with cold.
