Yeah, I like spicy food but scoville unit for scoville unit's sake is just... not fun
Stops being a treat and instead devolves into a test of fortitude
I think for spicy food acting as food, the hottest pepper I still enjoy the taste of is a Habanero. In my opinion, anything beyond that isn't meant to be tasted. Sometimes, the pain and that hit of adrenaline is the point though.
You should try pushing yourself. Once you get used to the more intense spiciness unlocks more flavors.
I've pushed myself and all it unlocks is burning.
It's like lifting weights. Push yourself gradually. Once you get used to that level of hotness , go the next hottest level. Start with Tabasco of that's the level you're at now. And take the chance to put it on any kind of food you think would benefit from some spice. For example, I put olive oil and hot sauce on my salad instead of salad dressing.
I'm at carolina reaper. What now?
Not sure. I'm at the save level.
I think at this point it's "we made this product with A ZILLION SCOVILLE sauce/pepper/etc" and it's watered down by the end product.
The scoville scale tops out at 16 million, because that's the measurement of pure Capsaicin crystals. This chocolate can't be 1/8th capsaicin.
Why can't it be 1/8 capsaicin?
because it looks like generic milk chocholate. I'd expect something to look different if it's made 1/8 pure capsaicin, like errant crystals or lumpiness or some type of inconsistency
Yea! Why can’t it?
Maybe not by itself, but perhaps as part of a Mole' sauce? I'm with ya, tho'. I eat red chili powder everyday to keep a baseline so that I can enjoy all the other flavors that those spicy chili's offer. I like to grow Scotch Bonnets, and Habaneros. This year I'm hoping to grow Madame Jeanette, a chili in the same scoville range, with lovely fruity notes. Thanks for bringing this up, I just wrote to the farm that I get my Spring starts from, asking that they grow Madame Jeanette. Hee Hee!
The LD50 for capsaicin in mice is around 200mg/kg. The Flaming Anus chocolate bar is 52 grams according to Amazon. That chocolate is also not good for mice, the theobromine causes a similar toxicity in dogs.
There is a very real possibility that the mouse is either dead or at least has learned a very hard lesson about eating candy from strangers.
Funny you say that. Diarrhea was a main cause of death in the past, violent, and burning I bet that mouse is at least on deaths door.
Rodents cant taste capsaicin
That not true at all, it's pretty commonly used as a rodent deterant. I think you're misremembering; birds can't taste it. And this is like the 5th time I'm seeing someone saying this, do you really just believe things without even trying to find out if they're true? You're willfully spreading disinformation by doing that.
I saw it on youtube- shawn woods
Also settle down
But would it be poisonous and/or affect their digestion?
You can say "anus" without using NSFW tag.
This is a shitposting sub and it's funny to get people to click on a NSFW post titled "Hot Mouse Ass". Or were you upset that the post failed to deliver?
Or were you upset that the post failed to deliver?
No, I am usually just upset about stupidity. Yes, using NSFW for this post qualifies.
No, that is precisely what you failed to achieve. Don't quit your day job.
Cheesed to meet you
RIP.
