The only reader-added tags are "Remilia Scarlet" (since Mizuki-san didn't add it himself) and "McEnroe in a seesaw row". (This is apparently a line from an old commercial, but I can't find anything more about it right off the bat.)

Helpful bit of advice: If you find yourself suffering from brain freeze, press your tongue against the roof of your mouth. That's the part that senses the coldness of your food, and warming it up with your tongue will reduce the headache.

Your advice is accurate, but not applicable here. Some people simply have tooth enamel that more easily transfers heat to or away from the nerves in the teeth, so eating very hot or cold food can be painful. There are even certain brands of toothpaste meant to treat this problem. The transmission of heat away from the brain through the soft palate, the cause of "brain freeze", is a whole separate matter.
I can soooo relate to Remilia here, and my teeth suddenly spiked in sensitivity recently for no apparent reason. Welp, at least she can still eat savoury food realitively comfortably, I hope.
I often do curiously wonder how some people chew up an Ice pops and such. They probably have no nerves running through their teeth? :V
Lots of possible reasons. One of them being that they may just be totally desensitized to it after eating cold stuff for extended periods of time.
I don't have this problem, but my circumstances are unique. As a kid, i never took care of my teeth and never visited the dentist. But at the same time, the water in our country is fluoridated and I always consume lots of milk and fish. And I never had a single cavity, not even once.
When I finally visited the dentist last year to give my teeth their long overdue cleaning, he said that he would only remove the tartar and plague buildup, but will not attempt to clean or polish the enamel. He explained that the decades of neglect, combined with my high calcium and protein intake, has resulted in the creation of a very thin but hard stained layer over the enamel that basically protects my teeth from decay and sensitivity for as long as it remains undamaged. Because of this I can drink hot soup right out of the pot or ice-cold beverages without feeling anything on my teeth.
And there's a trick to enjoying cold food even for those with sensitive teeth. Use the canine to break it up quickly into smaller pieces; this makes the bits warm up much faster to a temperature that is tolerable to the rest of the teeth. Doesn't work for liquids, obviously.
I completely cannot chew ice/ice-cream -at all-, I just hold small chunks over my tongue until they can be swallowed. Glad to see this happen to someone else actually, around here I feel like I'm the only one who can't. XD I even use different brands and types of Sensodyne toothpaste without much change(and I've only had small cavities rarely in the past, so that's not it). Anything on a stick is pretty much out, and even ice cream sandwiches/cake is annoying to eat around.
