ICE CREAM! Who doesn't like it ? Everybody does. It is one of the most favourite beverages of everyone. Kids love ice cream the most. There was no execption for me. When I was a little, I liked ice cream so much. I used to eat it almost every once in two days, but it was normal for most of Indonesians I guess. Western people usually do not let their kids eat ice cream so much in case for them having a sugar rush which will make them bouncing off the walls. So my parents probably did not mind having me bouncing off the walls that time. HA!
One day, I went to a very big mall with my family and saw an “ Eating Ice Cream The Most” competition’s announcement. It was for kids around 5-10 years old. I was 8 years old that time anyway. I was so excited and asked my parents to let me in. Talked and talked, I was in! The following week, It was finally the day. I just ate around 4 cups of ice creams. I got to eat chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and cappucino ice creams. I had never thought that it would be so hard to eat ice cream so quickly. I felt a super cold feeling at the back of my neck. I did not know what was wrong. I could not make it any further. I stopped at the 5th and sat blankly. My parents told me that I got a brain freeze, that was why I could barely move for a few seconds. Yes, it was that bad! I lost that day, but I was not sad or anything because I came to know about the brain freeze thing and I still got to eat the tasty flavoured ice creams for free though. I have never got any guts to eat ice cream so much and quick at one time since then.
