Nerd Night: Frost Bites

Nerd Night: Frost Bites

Frozen treats for many is a comfort food, but craving sugary treats is actually an evolutionary survival mechanism! It became the means by which the body developed sensitivity to fructose so that even small amounts were stored as fat. This meant no starvation during rough times in evolutionary history! However, our cravings, like the treats we eat today, have evolved vastly, and humans now have a vast array of treats to choose from. But why do humans crave frozen sweets? Why do we get a brain freeze when eaten too fast? Join us for this delicious Nerd Night event where we will explore these questions, but wait! There’s more! El Paso has a plethora of thriving businesses that specialize in some unique frozen treats. So, what better way to learn about these frozen confections than tasting them?! You don’t want to miss this Yummy opportunity where we will not only taste some amazing bites, but attendees will get to vote for their tastiest treat and the winner will be crowned ‘Frozen Bites Champ’!
