Ooh, I know that one! It has to do with the nerves on the roof of your mouth, and how they are connected with your sinus cavity - it tends to happen if you let the "too cold" stuff press against the roof of your mouth or not - that's why it varies. So if you take small sips or bites, it's less likely to happen. When it does, press your tongue - which is naturally warm, and lots of blood flowing through it - against the roof of your mouth to warm it back up, and the pain should diminish.

And "parkways" were named for the parks through which they go, they're supposed to be scenic, even though in many places the parks have then been built over, and it's a regular highway now. Hammond Pond Parkway, not far from here, goes through some lovely forested conservation land on my end but the other end is all buildings!
