green apples are an "awesome sour snack".
pickles are an "awesome sour snack".
ants, are bugs.
There’s a reason mammals have evolved into ant eaters at least 12 different times and it’s not because ants are bad food.
High in protein, plentiful and tasty. A good bit of bush tucker.

Your point being?

I find it hard to understand how a potentially hazardous to health food item is even allowed.
What is this obcession with ever increasing level of spice in food, lately?
Because at some point all the flavour just goes away, replaced by a hefty dose of pain.

Other than some gut irritation it's not a significant hazard. Like yeah keep it safely stored from sensitive people and pets also it's probably not the best road trip snack or whatever. Certainly less dangerous than alcohol, fireworks, cigarettes or texting while driving.

Dogs and cats can't taste capsaicin, can mice?

Reminds me of the time I lost an entire day to the fucking One Chip Challenge.

Dogs and cats can definitely perceive spiciness from capsaicin. Are you maybe thinking about birds? They cannot.

alcohol an capsaicin hits hard. the alcohol acts as a surfactant and your throat just gets obliterated. even vodka+tabasco can be pretty rough.
I took a shot of everclear one time and felt my throat close up immediately. I couldn’t breath and felt panic for what felt like 2 minutes but was actually just 10 seconds. I imagine adding hot sauce would have ended me.

Hey, long time no see!
But no. It's food. Not torture.

No, just getting lied to by Alexa is all.

I realize I'm a special case, but my nose is essentially non-functional—I don't smell food. While my sense of taste is more sensitive than your average person, I suspect I still miss out on some kinds of flavour. I believe my impairment is why I am drawn towards strong tastes like cheeses or, indeed, extremely spicy food. They're the "only" flavours that I really experience strongly.

I can get sensory extremes by walking outside, right now. I'm good on that front.
It's clear I'm on the minority side here, no problem on that, but is it that weird to expect food to have flavour and not hurt me while I'm eating it? It seems reasonable.

If my dog eats something too spicy he will continue to lick around his mouth for hours

Cases like yours are unfortunate and I understand and respect those. I'm a fan of spice myself. Just not to the point it hurts me. I put spice in food to enhance flavours, not to cover it with a dose of pain.
If you can find it, try portuguese goat cheese or Azores cheese, long cure. Very flavourful but incredibly intense.

I do, thank you the concern. But self imposed torture is not something I enjoy. Nor recommend.
Don't kink shame, ffs.

No. Plain and simple.

Much as I love spicy foods/hot sauce, this weapons grade shit is just silly.
I once signed a waiver to purchase a spicy chicken sandwich and will never do so again.
My mouth is broken and I love really spicy stuff. Like, still haven't met someone in person who likes things as spicy as I like them.
FYI to the Flaming Anus chocolate bar: it's advertising hype BS. Like most hot sauces yelling out some high scoville number. All that big "2.2 million scoville" on the packaging here is actually just referencing that it has Carolina reaper pepper in the chocolate, and that those peppers can be up to 2.2 million scoville.
But the peppers are dead last on the ingredient list. Each bar has very little in it. If I ate a Carolina reaper pepper rated over 2 million even I would hate it and it would burn and I'd feel like my insides wanted to die. But the chocolate bar here is just a spicy little snack.
-
I assume so. I have had critters gorging on my ghosts and reapers in the garden. Losing an entire plant overnight was the last straw so I have webbing up now, but they were clearly unaffected.
Lost a plant with peppers on it? I wonder what OG was eating that.
-
One of those things you buy but never to actually eat. I remember my brother bought me a beer that was made using yeast originally cultured from beard hairs belonging to the master Brewmaster (I believe rouge brewery made it). Could never bring myself to drink it. Sat in my shelf for years as more of a keep sake.
Those bars are fine to eat, though. Spicy chocolate tastes good and the 2.2 million advertising is BS. They contain a tiny amount of pepper from 2 million+ scoville Carolina reaper peppers. Diluted down as the last ingredient in the chocolate bar makes it way, way, lower.

I never understood sweets with spiciness added. It just ruins the whole experience for me. Spicy on savoury foods is fine but not on primarily sweet ones.
