In 1994, 7-Eleven coined the term "brain freeze." The word was developed to explain the feeling people get when drinking a Slurpee.

- By Anonymous 386 Days AgoThe first time I heard the phrase "Brain Freeze" was well before 1986. I was born in '79, and the first time I can recall its usage was the first time I ever had it happen to me. My parents said it to me well before the nineties, and I KNOW they didn't invent that crap! I mean, c'mon! The phrase wasn't created in '94, end of story. Too bad, bad fact.
- By Anonymous 386 Days AgoThis doesn't say that the term "brain freeze" was invented in 1994. 7-11 just stated to use this word. I know it was used ealier then this but it seems that 7-11 stated to use it for market purposes around 1994
