Ice Cold Cash is a Canadian game show that ran from February 10 to June 6, 2012 for 28 episodes on Food Network. Reruns of the show aired on Dabl in the United States from 2020 to 2023[ citation needed ] and currently airs on GameTV Go on the website Plex.[ citation needed ]
Host Joseph Motiki dresses as an ice cream seller and pedals around in an ice cream cart. The general public approaches the cart as if to get ice cream or a frozen treat, only to be told he has nothing in stock. Motiki explains that he only has cash and that there are ten questions that may be food, drink, or culinary related. The first question is for $10 and every question thereafter doubles. When contestants reach $160, they can't leave with anything less.
There were two segments in the show. The first one was where people were given a kitchen gadget and asked if they knew what the kitchen gadget was. The correct response would get them $20. A second segment is a game of charades where one person acts out the item given to them to by Motiki.
The ice cream cart was built by Great Lake Scenic Studios. [1]

Ice cream is a frozen dessert typically made from milk or cream that has been flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit, such as strawberries or peaches. Food colouring is sometimes added in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. It can also be made by whisking a flavoured cream base and liquid nitrogen together. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures. It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases.

A cold-stimulus headache, colloquially known as an ice-cream headache or brain freeze, is a form of brief pain or headache commonly associated with consumption of cold beverages or foods such as ice cream, popsicles, and snow cones. It is caused by a cold substance touching the roof of the mouth, and is believed to result from a nerve response causing rapid constriction and swelling of blood vessels, "referring" pain from the roof of the mouth to the head. The rate of intake for cold foods has been studied as a contributing factor. It can also occur during a sudden exposure of unprotected head to cold temperatures, such as by diving into cold water. A cold-stimulus headache is distinct from dentin hypersensitivity, a type of dental pain that can occur under similar circumstances.
