A Christmas Story question!

since the Christmas season is here, I would like to ask a question about the movie, "A Christmas Story." In one of the subplots of the movie, Ralphie's friends were betting each other that their tongue would stick to to a frozen pole. Finally, the kid did it and it stuck to the pole. 

Why does this happen? I believe that there is a physics explanation for this...

(please tell me if they are similar questions or if something's wrong with this post)
