Eat Slower.
Everyone at Mimi's has done this at least once. Some of us more than we'd like to admit.
You've felt this before.
One bite too fast — too greedy, too eager — and something sharp spreads across your forehead like someone flipped a switch.
It lasts about 20 seconds. Your brain registers cold on the roof of your mouth and briefly panics. Blood vessels constrict. Then release. Then you're fine.
Scientists gave it a 30-letter name: sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia.
What does everyone else call it?
