I want to eat a hot pepper. NOW!
If you give in to the urge, we'd love to see some footage of you testing your own hot pepper cure(s).
6:23 ranking
As a Mexican, I can say that the best way to relieve your mouth when you eat very spicy food is Lemon Sorbet. It’s absolutely magical, I’ve been able to relieve the heat and the pain after eating Habaneros or Chile de Arbol almost instantly. You should try it.
Sound like a trap
@@Smorgasvord actually it isn't! Not only did food theory do a video on it but also currently eating it after some jalapenos and it's a miracle
acidic food neutralizes the chemical compound of capsaicin.
You started out on the right track talking about the insolubility of the capsicum oil in water, but you gave up there. It is soluble in alcohol. Try taking a swig of straight up vodka, switching it around in your mouth, gargling it if necessary, and then spitting it out if you didn't swallow the pepper and swallowing it if you did. It will dissolve the oil and at least clear it out of your mouth, if nothing else. That has saved me countless times when I mistake those Thai peppers in various Asian foods for lengthwise carrot slices.
"Chemistry Jargon" is my new favorite censor bar
The real problem isnt eating a ton of pepper/spicy food, you know what i mean? The real struggle happens in the bathroom, and im sorry for you, guys. :S
🔥 💩 🚽
This is me right now.
Taco Bell.. 🚽💨💨
But is it? The eating is a psychological battle. You have to battle to put more in and not try and relieve it. The exiting is going to happen either way, so why not just accept it? Fight or flight shouldn't kick in at this stop.
Also, serranos aren't really that hot. Unless you have some kind of IBS, mildly spicy foods like it shouldn't inhibit that much of a reaction.
Hi, coming from an European that lived a long time in Mexico and had to fight that burning feeling, the best cure is salt. You put a small amount on your palm and with the point of your tongue you dip it in the salt, wait 10 to 30 seconds so the heat from your tongue disappear and then with the rest of salt you put it on the places that burn inside your mouth other than your tongue
And I've tested that many times cause in Mexico you never know when something is spicy and it even saved me from feeling so burn my whole mouth got numb
Tried it works! You've earned yourself a like!
THAMK YOU
Thank u so much!my life saver today!
HHaha please try Luke water
After eating spicy food the feeling is awsome
I once licked salt out of desperation, and it worked for me .
Yay for Sam for going through all the pepper rounds! I'm super excited to see the frozen butter result
Kinda disappointed that you didnt spot that Capsaicin is a base so (weak) acids like lemon and vinegar are good.
As an indian friend of mine once asked "why did you think we put lemon on the side of our curries?!".
Ive used this trick for years and it works every time. Very effective.
@@shesh32 I once used tablespoons of curry powder instead of teaspoons in a dish for 22 people (!). It was nearly inedibly hot but I juiced 8 whole lemons into it and brought it back to something bearable (though still hot!). So it works in cooking too!
"should" work. The problem with that is it's not about ph and this is evidenced by the fact that most capsaicin hot sauces have vinegar both as a preservative and to provide a tangy taste/sensation. Of the group of the molecule that binds to the pain receptors isn't destroyed then the capsaicin remains active.
I am glad I read this comment. I did not know of capsacin's basic properties. Thank you friend.
You just saved my life I was dying from some 2x spicy noodles
@@HH-ru4bj Ive used it myself. Others have confirmed it here. Try it yourself.
Not a complete list. You should try half and half, alcohol (vodka), olive oil (straight fat), and what I suspect would be the best, a cool vinaigrette, which is an emulsion of fats in water, making it easier for your saliva to wash it away.
Vinagrette would have the base (acetic acid from vinegar) as well!
k hear me out, never tried it but would gargling dawn dish soap work? don't eat it but dish soap does an amazing job of removing oil. could it so that for your mouth?
I live in south Arizona and grilled seranos are pretty common in restaurants, we put jalopenos in our grits. Cucumber, sliced cucumber. Also seeds have noting to do with heat in case you didnt know. The heat comes from the placenta, that is where the capsaicin oozes from.
For me, a drink of cold icy non sugar coke works really well, the more gas it has, the more it helps. If it is not cold, direct from bottle (more gassy) and helps a lot.
In me experience the seeds is where the most capsaicin is, I normally try to avoid them, cause I like the pepper flavor itself, not that much the hotness.
I love that you two went into this experimenting experience, for science!!
05:13 The highest proportion of the capsaicin is stored in the pith (or the 'ribs') of the pepper, not the seeds - so actually that's a pretty high dose there for George!
I’m here because I just taste tested a bit of home made tabasco and garlic pure…
My tolerance is moderate or so I think…
Salt and salt water helped for a moment or two but what changed the game was cold water with a squeeze of fruit punch water additive concentrate…. I mixed that up and started sipping… so, for me, that worked best. Be safe folks…
Testing out foods that help the front end is great and all but is there a way to make spicy food not burn coming out the other end?
0:45 the thought imperium youtuber made himself lactose tolerant
Sesame oil and cucumber works every time
So was it specifically the coconut dessert you tried that worked best? Or does any frozen, non - dairy, ice-cream-like dessert work? What are the necessary ingredients?
Sam's coconut frozen dessert worked better than anything else she tried, but she didn't test it against soy frozen dessert or any other non-dairy ice-cream-like substance. It seems like cold temperatures, fats, and proteins all contribute, but it's an "area of active research", which means we're not totally sure what all is going on there. If you feel inspired to test it yourself, definitely send us some footage! It will make Sam and George feel better to know they're not the only ones to suffer for science.
Weed! Somehow it took the heat out of ghost peppers for me.
I love how we talk about our brain in second person when it's our brain that is the number 1 of our bodies.
Thank you, OMG. Probs the only time other than myself that I've seem someone say something other than almond milk. Almonds don't lactate and therefore CAN NOT produce milk. It would be almond juice or in this case beverage. Thank you!
i eat a lot of very very hot food (mad dog gold for example) what actually helps the most is biting into a lemon :)
This.
Capsaicin is a base. A weak acid is good so try lemon crushed into water or in desperation vinegar.
I was interested in this study as I have problems for a day or two with severe GI pain until the peppers pass. I drink milkshakes like crazy, but not it’s not a perfect fix. I will try acid, salt and alcohol. I never eat spicy peppers intentionally but occasionally they slip past my defenses. The waiter says “no it’s not spicy at all”. I have problems with red peppers too like cayenne used for coloring in a lot of pre-made foods, and even large amount of white or black pepper will bother me. Keep looking for the perfect antidote.
TRY BREAD WITH LARD
Please call if you need a guinea pig for the next round :P
What chemical reaction would eating salted red radishes be doing to block capsaicin and TRPV1 channel activation?
It works like magic BTW.
You guys were cool,he did real great with his facial expressions,ha ha,love you.
Someone has been watching Food Theory
Also forgot to mention how spice is measure via scovilles (or how much sugar is needed to relieve the spice) which will also contribute to relieving the pain inflicted by spicy peppers.
I never been so early for a video! I love your work. Keep doing what you do!!
Sarano peppers are fairly hot , hotter than a jalapeno. I'd work my way up the scoville ladder of peppers.
Food theory just did a video about the same thing last week!
They found that sugars and acids work really well.
Simple chilled water will work fine as long as keep it in your mouth but the pain comes back if you swallow.
Swish the milk, don't swallow it, and spit it out after the heat's gone. 2 problems solved ( :
Just had 2 attacks in the stomach after trying last night Insanity sauce! I gulped water and baking soda for quick relief. Then I threw up and was OK.
Very tart lemonade. Capsaicin is also acid soluble. Pretty much any type of acidic drink can break down the molecules. Which might be a blessing for those that have eating spicy food as we all know it's just as hot out the other end. Capsaicin is also fat-soluble so fat does play a role but isn't really doing much just watching over your tongue just the casein in milk that is doing the job. But as far as those acidic drinks go, they are literally neutralizing the capsaicin as it is an alkaline molecule.
My face and lips are burning.... quickly tell the answer
George is a character sooo funny ha ha
For lactose intolerant, why not just swish and spit the milk out? I've never found it to help "down the line" anyway
I usually just have water because I dont drink enough milk to have it around all the time. Ice cold water, sipped whenever the heat rises.
Maybe its because Ive just not had something hot enough (and Ive little interest in heat without an accompanying rise in flavor.) but its always worked just fine, and its led me to suspect that its just the cool flood of liquid over any specific chemistry. Though of course there are a bunch of variables here subjective and otherwise so my anecdote is largely worthless.
Hopefully scientists find something concrete to it all.
The food theorist just did a really cool video on this where they tested multiple different items. His ultimate cure was a simple syrup made with lime juice.
My insta-cure for pepper burn is vanilla ice cream with chopped and mashed fresh blueberries.
Lactose intolerance is no big deal, there are lots of lactose-free products, or enzymes you can take so that your body can deal with lactose after all.
the real vanilla in ice cream is the only thing to reduce the burn....the receptors prefer vanilla to spice
Maybe it's a matter of an emulsion that milk works better than vegan protein shake? Micellar character of protein-emulsified oil-in-water emulsion potentially could work like a detergent washing off the capsaicin.
What about Bread? Alcohol? Ice???
🤔
What's the logic? Cold + capsaicin dissolving compound + ph neutralizer right?
Here's a thought - Menthol activates cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin and mucosal tissues, and is the primary source of the cooling sensation that follows the topical application of peppermint oil. Will a peppermint tea, counter effect the burning sensation caused by peppers? 🤔
Please test your theory and let the rest of us know. Thanks!! **(Update: Just watched an episode of "Good Mythical Morning", on RUclips, and they tested different spicy peppers relief, one of which was peppermint/menthol toothpaste. They said the mint/menthol taste and sensation made the burn much worse...FYI)
I know this was ages ago but hot water works surprisingly well
i was trying to get skinnyer how i was and ate that my MOUTH BURN
Ed Currie who made the world's hottest pepper said he recommends citrus juice because milk or ice cream will only reduce the heat while it's still in your mouth and with those super hot peppers the heat lasts a while so you will overeat. He said citrus will break down the capsaicin and remove it from the mouth so you need less juice.
Vinegar?
No seriously why would any one in their right mind choose brie? A creamy or soft and mild cheese like blue cheese sauce or Munster is way better.
i had, like most people, always assumed that milk was the best option, even though it didn't help much. then, completely by accident, i discovered that, for most spicy things, gatorade (or powerade, probably) worked miracles, almost completely banishing the flames that milk did next to nothing to. i really have no clue why this is, and it doesn't serm to work with spicy breading on chicken, so it may not be universal, but i swear by gatorade now.
for me (I love spicy food) whole milk works a lot better than skim milk
bread or cooked rice works best for me
My mouth is literally burning
QUESTION: If l leave cold pasta a few days it stinks of fly larvae - am l correct? l don't even know how they got there I AM SO CAREFUL TRYING TO STOP MOSQUITOS AS I LIVE IN A HOT COUNTRY l have seen no flies. Also is it safe to leave foa few hours or l day? Can l eat it?
my mouth is burning I aint got time for a 9 minute video I need an answer NOW
ice cream/non-dairy frozen dessert. hope this helps.
6:23
Aww, you guys were so mean to each other!
there is not heat in seeds
Lemon or orange juice works too.
I've eaten spicy food my whole life, the best remedy for it that I found was hot water or hot dairy drinks. Just try it. You don't even need to drink that much.
Well for me is yoghurt/ curd is the best because it's both help tongue and stomach and cool down the body
Vegan coffee ice cream is amazing, so it sounds silly he was poking fun of her not being able to drink milk.
I thought it had something to do with calcium binding up the active ingredient in the peppers. Thought that's why Indian and middle eastern condiments are often yogurt based. I was expecting your skim vs. whole milk to be more dramatic. Any comments on calcium, as you didn't even mention... Love the episode.
I actually Just ate the scorpion pepper (Trinidad Moruga,WORLD'S second most spicy pepper) and milk + bread was the best option for me.
Alcoholic beverages should work well.
in desperation once I swished heavy whipping cream and it worked like a dream! I've also used half-half when i had no other option. lol
I also had a surprisingly good luck with chewing gum. It dissolved the gum, but killed the heat!
Greek yogurt. Plain, and as thick as possible. Give it a try, now that is a miracle fix for sure.
I'd like to see you pit soy milk against lactose-free milk.
havent tried it but: physically brushing off the capsaicin off ur tongue with a toothbrush sorta sounds like a logical option doesnt it? 🤔
Might be worth a shot. Test it out! We'd love to see footage of you testing this.
My gut feeling says that milk and carbs are the way to beat hot pepper feeling
Sugar is great. Milk is okay. No surprise ice cream does well, I will have to try it.
Acid, salt, milk and believe it or not… hot water. once as a kid I had the hottest pepper I ever tasted and it had my mouth throbbing and my ears got really hot ant tingly, I reached for water and though it was hot I still drank it. My mouth was shocked from the heat and that caused my younger to salivate and the pepper was instantly gone
I was hoping you'd get into stuff like canola oil, milk of magnesia, and straight up lard.
I guess we really do have to do another round...
Gargle warm water n spit it out…that should reduce the spice 👍🏽
The most simple put white bread in your mouth let bread in the mouth for a moment , don’t swallow it and spit it out
Good thing the amount of seeds makes no difference.
yup, gimme that pith for more heat!
Hey Rome is that you
That was just a Serrano pepper??? 😂😂😂
Baking soda & water!
Ice cream?
Try chocolate, the darker the better
You forgot the whipped cream
Try sugar or any sweet snacks
Chilled vegetable oil.
Put a tablespoon of sugar on your tongue.
As someone who's been eating peppers for a long time, if you want to remove the burning sensation...rinse mouth with hot water. It will burn intensely for a moment and the burning sensation is also gone when you spew out the now warm water
For me is buttermilk
How about on hands touching eyes?
2:50 I mean you might want to tell us WHICH PEPPER THIS IS, for science.
They stuck with serrano peppers, despite their painful memories from their pre-COVID pepper video experiences.
Hello Hilary, about five years or so ago, my kids gave something that was extremely too hot for me. While I’m a panic I went through the fridge looking for something that could reverse the effects of capsaicin and in my panic I thought, it’s a plant there’s got to be some kind of plant to reverse it. I immediately saw something in my fridge grabbed it and in a couple of seconds I had a WTFUDGE moment. It didn’t actually reverse it, it paused it a little and the more I chewed and ate more the better I felt and I knew I was on to something. So, for years I’ve been trying to tell Brooke about strawberries! Yep, I said it. Strawberries. Try and let me know.
You guys should try olive oil.
why didn't you guys tried a shot of alcohol, like a vodka or tequila (not necessarily swallowing it), maybe it will help... trust me
What I’ve really lost tolerance for is watching people constantly wave their hands around when they’re being recorded. They seem to think if they stop flapping their hands around as if a hornet is trying to sting them for even a moment that nobody will want to pay attention to them. Which is probably true, because I already find flappers obnoxious, but at least being obnoxious is is minutely more interesting than ‘dead boring’.
That and the cardinal rule of being on camera - don't sit in front of blazing white windows that backlight you. ;)
It's hot water for sure (it *really* works)
But did you try gargling cooking oil?
Pineapple juice and Key Limes.
i use yogurt. There is fats, there is acid, and my stomach seems to like it.
I wonder why horchata works so well?
Sugar probably
What about Mad dogs?
I just bought Bhot Jhalokia sauce today. I needed this
