I once ate a curry that was so hot I could follow it's progress through my digestive system by the burning. I still love chillis, I'm growing 9 varieties right now, but that experience really put me off the super hots
Even I, the guy who grew this pepper, no longer cook with them. I only use them in hot sauce which I can dilute. I got my girlfriend mad about making food too hot too many times...
@@kdonsky6 yeah same. I have a little tupperware of assorted peppers in my freezer now and will randomly just cut a little from one to cook with... its like russian roulette since sometimes that little slice is mild, other times it turns the entire pot into fire.
I had a curry last week that actually made my ear canals feel as if they were burning from the inside. The dish was yummy but far too hot to finish. I love hot and spicy foods but couldn't handle that curry.
My dad always recommends having lemon or lime wedges ready to suck on as heat killers. The citric acid is supposed to cut through the oils of the peppers.
A method of killing spicyness that you haven't tried is a coconut shake, like the "cocada" that is eaten in some latin american countries. It has the fat of the coconut in great quantities and sugar, it's great to neutralize spice heat, I've tried it (though I habe never eaten things as spicy as the ones you review)
@@WeirdExplorer It is, I tried it the first time for the sweetness. this is also why you see some spicy dishes being made with coconut, the fat of the coconut helps to block the spice nerves.
Ever eat anything hot enough that it gives you tunnel vision and your hands and feet start to tingle so much you can't feel anything else? It is an intense experience I've experienced it twice once eating a fresh reaper the second time eating something with a large amount of insanly potent extract in it. I've really cut back on the super hots though I grow ghost peppers and use them quite a bit I love their heat and flavor but I don't go beyond 1mil shu anymore the cap cramps are unbearable for me.
The come back when using dairy is why you use citrus " like lemonade" instead because it neutralizes the capsaicin where dairy all it does is coat your pain receptors and once your saliva breaks that dairy down the pain comes back immediately and it seems even hotter because you've given your nervous system a break from the pain. Citric acid breaks down and neutralizes capsaicin. Here's an idea for a new show. Try mixing different combinations of fruit. My suggestion try eating an orange slice with a super hot pepper sliver. Love your videos keep it going 👍😎
Casein breaks down capsaicin too, and the fats in the milk have an effect on it also (capsaicin is fat soluble), as well as milk being slightly acidic itself (most plant based milks are more acidic than normal milk)
I don't know about this particular reasoning. I make several spicy salsas that prominently feature citrus juices and it has have no cooling effect or bearing on the overall dish. In fact I think the end result might slightly spicier for it.
Here my story, i grew some and chopped them up. Went to bathroom took a piss. Then washed my hands. A minute later i was back scrubbing my junk trying to get the oil off, but it only spread it everywhere. It hurt so bad like i was constantly being kicked in the balls.
@@astrielmaahes1116 Once I was handling 500 grams of 200k Scoville dried peppers all day long - cutting, removing seeds and separating shells from placentae to grind them separately (placenta powder does not affect the taste of food as much). Wasn't wearing gloves, because I kept accidentally cutting them with scissors. After doing that, I washed my hands with an organic solvent first, then extensively washed them with a plain laundry soap brick three times. Feeling really smart and confident, I took a piss. My balls were burning for 20 minutes, 10 of which were very uncomfortable. The scientific lesson I took from this: no, don't wash your hands a hundred times; just be a man, accept your fate and have a good old character-building ball burn for measly 20 minutes. Also saves time and cleaning agents, doesn't ruin your skin.
Weird Explorer Well, as they say. FOR SCIENCE! Also just as a random add on. Supposedly acid is good for spice so maybe lemon juice. I haven’t been subscribed for all that long, so I don’t know if you’ve tried that before though.
Pepper X is considered a myth in the pepper growing community at this point. The pictures have been determined to be a mustard something. The person who claims he owns pepper x claims he will not release it until his red carolina reaper has been beaten so we don't know if his pepper x is real yet though. Either it is a major bluff or real.
@@onometre He has the hottest pepper but he claims pepper x is real but that is not true. The problem is a lot of people hear about pepper x and say it is the hottest when it is the reaper which is actually the hottest. The hottest pepper is always a moving bench mark anyway.
Sweetened versions of normal spicy remedies is what I always found to work the best. Like milk with a little sugar. Or pound cake instead of bread. Sweetened condensed milk would probably be perfect.
Coconut oil with a splash of lime juice & a touch of zest. Oil will coat the mouth & help dilute the heat, lime will allow you to have straight oil in mouth without wanting to spit it out. Touch of salt with the oil helps also.
what I use for heat is salt, but when it hits your stomach, what you need is grease. when I took 2 cayenne capsules on an empty stomach I went to a deli and had greasy home fries,. they did the trick.
I agree! The people who call somebody a pussy for not annihilating themselves by eating the whole pepper are part of what I consider the anti-intelligence community (Steve-O has been their leader since high school). Reminds me of the “Ouch, My Balls” show from Idiocracy 😂
Not sure if you have tried any of these but emalsafiers : mustard, dish soap. (not saying it would be a pleasant experience but could help to get oils to unbound to your receptors and keep moving) Also lime/lemon juice works to clump fats/oils so might help (until exit)
Try baked milk maybe? It's basically concentrated milk. Also a bit early for cloudberries in Finland (idk when this was filmed), but they're a favourite up here in Norway/Sweden and Finland so hopefully you can try some jam at least!
It may be unpleasant in "novelty" amounts, but in tiny amounts it actually creates a much milder burn than more common pepper like jalapeno or tabasco which attack the face, lips, and eyes, and make your nose drip (a trait shared by ghost chilis and some habanero varieties like you mentioned). It's pleasantly spicy because it gives you the mild burn without the tears. I've told so many people about this fascinating fact and no one seems to really care. If you're interested, try cooking with one of these peppers in miniscule proportions. A good ghost pepper proportion is about a matchstick head to a bowl of soup. You might use less than half that for this insane pepper. You won't be disappointed!
My method for killing the heat: Olive oil as capsaicin solvent, and bread for mechanical removal. Just dip the bread in some quality olive oil, and chew for a while. In extreme cases, you may want to replace oil with a very fatty/liquid cheese stored in the fridge, for immediate relief. My favorite is Gorgonzola cheese.
See, I would've filmed the walking to the bathroom scene in reverse to get the full effect of unease. Make it look like Sadako needs to use the facilities, _urgently._
You could consider trying vanilla ice cream as a heat killer. It's cold, so it numbs, it has vanilla, so it tastes good, and it is made out of milk and sugar, so it has your typical heat killing ingredients :)
Casein( predominantly found in mamalian dairy products) will help by isolating capscaisin, mild acid will help by counteracting the basic nature of capscaisin, sugar can overwhelm the reaction; alcohol trips the same receptors as capscaisin (making it worse)
The only for sure thing I know to get rid of the heat is a rinse with dish soap. Mix a drop in a cup full of water and stir well. Don't swallow it of course, just use it like a mouthwash. It isn't a very pleasant taste, but it will get the capsaicin oil out of your mouth . I know Dawn works, but I imagine other brands would as well.
Acidic ingredients such as lemon or lime juice, vinegar, wine, tomatoes, and even pineapple will all help to neutralize the pH levels of a spicy oil, and reduce some of that flaming-hot flavor. Add the juice of half a lemon or lime, or a tablespoon or two of wine, vinegar, or tomato sauce, to your over-spiced dish. When doing hot peppers I make a pineapple/lime juice mix to help. This is on top of starting with milk to coat the throat.
In my experience the best thing to help with the heat is a cold soda. Nothing fancy, Coke or Pepsi. The cold helps with the heat, the sugar increases saliva production, and the acidity cuts the oils. Though it doesn't seem to help much with the internal heat unfortunately.
I had a Moruga Scorpion a year ago (2nd to 3rd hottest pepper). It wasn't upfront hot at all, but it built over time, until your whole mouth was coated. it was fascinating. The discomfort of that mouthfeel was unreal. The only other frame of reference i have was trying a ghost pepper, but ghost peppers are very abrupt and upfront. They dissipate after about 5-10 minutes. The moruga lasted for over a half hour.
I don't have a method for killing spice. However, I do have a method for building heat tolerance. First, find something that you can just barely tolerate. When the heat starts to come down after consuming, do some more. Over, over, and over. It's all about iteration. And the second time you try it you will be able to go a little hotter. And so on. So, it's iteration and repetition of your iteration routine, always adding a little more heat each time. Works for me, and I am someone that once thought Habaneros were hot.
My personal go-to antidote to capsicum pain is “Thai Iced Tea”. Use a sweetened condensed milk like “Eagle Brand” to make it for a little extra antidoting.
If you take heavy cream, yoghurt, salted butter, and powdered milk and mix them together into a creamy paste, and eat a large mouthful (mixed with any flavours you enjoy, I like rose water and honey) it can take a lot of spice away from the mix of the butter's salt and amount of fat, the yoghurt being fermented and fatty, the cream being fat and having rehydrated the powdered milk.
I've had this one in sauce and it wasn't the hottest thing ever but it was also less than 4% chilli. Just enough to taste that light, floral, berry-ish quality and still enough heat to rival something 50% Ghost Pepper. I'd both love and hate to try one like you did.
Heat killer method: soap. Soap does a great job of isolating the capsaisin oil and esentialy disolving it in water. If you havent tryed it yet works greater than anything else.
Use milk, cream or raw milk cheese to kill the pain; these work for me. You're looking for milk that is not ultra pasteurized because higher heat kills more enzymes in the milk. Use good quality cheese, raw milk cheese is the best. Thanks for a great video! I'm not a fan of heat, so I don't eat spicy food other than mildly hot/spicy. I love Mexican food, but not very spicy!
Drinking butter milk about 15 minutes before testing super hots will really reduce the stomach pain afterwards. It doesn't stop the loose consistency as it works it way out though, so always make sure you will be close to a bathroom for 24 hours afterwards.
i think coconut oil may actually reduce the stinging spiciness within 5 minutes. i noticed the sting gradually go away once the oil was applied to exposed surfaces (fingers & FACE).
I will send you one of my peppers when they bloom. I have 11 Dragon's Breath plants that have just started growing. I should have some pods before October If the conditions stay right. I have 6 Carolina Reaper pods sitting in my window ripening as we speak. Perfect specimens.
Late to the party but capsaicin oils are alcohol soluble so the best way to get it out of your mouth is a stong alcohol voka/everclear etc. You're just moving it along to your stomach though I prefer the burn in my mouth to my gut.
I'm very sensitive to spice, sometimes things listed as "mild" are too much for me. So I'm always trying methods to deal with it. Ime the higher fat content milk products definitely work better than plain milk. I'd also try powdered milk reconstituted beforehand, bc I tend to have issues with it taking a lot of effort to actually mix in. Half and half is the optimum I've found between spice killing & not disgusting to drink on its own. Another good one I've found, though, is lassi -- an Indian yogurt- based drink. It comes in both salty & sweet versions, I don't like the salty one so idk if it kills spice any better. Flavoring doesn't seem to change much one way or another.
Edible organic hay Bread Heavy cream Whole milk Different kinds of alcohol non toxic or blindness inducing The most sugary thing you can think of. Fermented milk alcoholic beverage Maybe hydrogen peroxide rinse and spit. Butter? Try some of that ;)
Hot water, is the best for spicy. It accelerates the the burning sensation. It is indeed more painful, but like quickly pulling off a bandage, it over sooner. Take small sips, and spit it out until the burning is gone.
Seems the opposite of the Naga, which is my personal favourite. Very little throat burn, no ring sting the next day either, just instant lip and mouth pain, and that's where it starts, and the taste is incredible. I really dislike those chillis that are like the Scorpion. Fully agree with you.
The problem with peppers is that the heat really depends on the plant. Even plants of the same cultivar producing identical pods may widely vary in heat. I have 4 Butch T Reaper plants, grown from seed at the same time, and only one of them produces extremely hot fruits. That’s why I grow at least 3 for each cultivar. That said, I much prefer the taste of the classic Reaper. Much better flavor and smoother “attack”.
Super milk with condensed and powdered is the best milk. You have the sweetness of the condensed, a slight saltiness from the powdered, far more actual milk content to carry away the heat and most of the drinkability of the regular sort, too. You just have to mix it very well.
The worst is the capsaicin cramps in the stomach, those double you over in pain that slowly ramps in and holds for what feels like forever while you turn white and sweat bullets rolling around in agony clutching your stomach in the fetal position trying to find some position, any, that will give even the slightest relief.
@@nytrodioxide no, it's called capsaicin cramps, it's a smooth muscle cramp in your stomach as a response to the chemical that causes the heat sensation in the peppers. It's not physically damaging you, just causing lots of pain.
Suggestion for a "spice killer" - bread! Put some in your mouth, chew on it(make sure it comes with contact with where it burns) and spit it out, repeat. The logic behind this is that the bread is good at absorbing stuff like oils so it acts like a sponge absorbing the capsaicin oils.
There are a few variants of the capsaicin molecule, (some have a slow burn or fast burn etc) but as I recall the most prevalent and potent are about 16million scoville. Which would imply the individual chile tested at 3M was at least 18% pure capsaicin. This must be on a dried basis.(I never hear critical details with these stats; like fresh/dry, with seeds, with placental tissue etc) I can find some lab papers that show Carolina reaper II as 120mg/g (12%) combined capsaicinoids on a dry weight basis including pericarp, seeds, and placenta but no peduncle(stem), and converting this to about 2million SHU based on the capsaicinoids respective conversion coefficients. But of course individual crops and fruits can have substantial variance, the record claims are probably the best of several samples.
Plain Greek yogurt is my go-to. A quality brand like Fagé is great. The higher fat content (say, 5%) is best. The fat draws the spiciness off the tongue and the enzymes from the live cultures help to break the rest down quicker.
I've actually noticed a difference in how the heat works depending upon what form you have the pepper. Sauces and dishes with the pepper (reapers specifically) cooked in are much more mouth forward where as the fruit is more delayed and a throat and stomach heat.
Swish and spit out high proof alcohol. It will denature the oil from the pepper and by spitting it out you remove the oils from the mouth and tongue. Won't help the gut or the day after though. Good luck, love the vids.
It sounds weird but it's really effective to rinse your mouth with some olive oil then spit, after that just get the taste of the oil out of your mouth, it's very effective I heard because the capsaicin binds to the oil.
I haven't seen all the pepper episodes but I'm fairly certain that coating your mouth and throat in (olive) oil before ingesting will block most of the heat from finding purchase
Running Scoville test equipment can be very expensive and there's always a range. Take Jalapenos for example. Some of them are as mild as Bell Peppers.
Eat some mashed potatoes before eating the pepper, so your stomach already has a nice 'bed' of mushy carbs to absorb the hot oils and protect stomach lining. Then honestly? Eat some high-fat icecream. It's thicker than milk, has sugar(which helps with heat), and it's cold. Only other idea I can think of is to boil some slippery elm maybe? mix it with something like pectin and maybe even some heavy cream and a bit of sugar? Might coat everything in your throat/stomach in a nice thick mucous. Best I got to help your burning woes.
I was thinking maybe a slurry with powdered milk could help? Just add a small amount of water. Or maybe even mix it with oil? Oil usually coats everything
Ed Currie (Reaper, pepper x fame) is keeping pepper x tight lipped, until it reaches optimum stability. Right now, it is in the f5 stage. F8 is the level he is looking for.
I don't know if it's been suggested, but try drinking a little half & half before trying the chilis. Have more afterward you please, but something very sugary will help.
If you had to choose one that works well for cooling your mouth down I would suggest drinking a cold sweet drink like Kool-Aid or iced tea you're not going to want to go for lemonade because that worsens burning because it's sour
I made some burgers today and coated them in Ed's Reaper Squeezin's, salt and garlic powder... it was so good, but man I was sweating. I used way more paper towels just to catch the sweat from my face than to actually use for dinner purposes

My personal go-to antidote to capsicum pain is “Thai Iced Tea”. Use a sweetened condensed milk like “Eagle Brand” to make it for a little extra antidoting.
If you take heavy cream, yoghurt, salted butter, and powdered milk and mix them together into a creamy paste, and eat a large mouthful (mixed with any flavours you enjoy, I like rose water and honey) it can take a lot of spice away from the mix of the butter's salt and amount of fat, the yoghurt being fermented and fatty, the cream being fat and having rehydrated the powdered milk.
Mebbe you should try coating your mouth and tongue with the powdered milk _before_ eating the pepper.
I've had this one in sauce and it wasn't the hottest thing ever but it was also less than 4% chilli. Just enough to taste that light, floral, berry-ish quality and still enough heat to rival something 50% Ghost Pepper. I'd both love and hate to try one like you did.
Heat killer method: soap. Soap does a great job of isolating the capsaisin oil and esentialy disolving it in water. If you havent tryed it yet works greater than anything else.
Use milk, cream or raw milk cheese to kill the pain; these work for me. You're looking for milk that is not ultra pasteurized because higher heat kills more enzymes in the milk. Use good quality cheese, raw milk cheese is the best. Thanks for a great video! I'm not a fan of heat, so I don't eat spicy food other than mildly hot/spicy. I love Mexican food, but not very spicy!
Drinking butter milk about 15 minutes before testing super hots will really reduce the stomach pain afterwards. It doesn't stop the loose consistency as it works it way out though, so always make sure you will be close to a bathroom for 24 hours afterwards.
i think coconut oil may actually reduce the stinging spiciness within 5 minutes. i noticed the sting gradually go away once the oil was applied to exposed surfaces (fingers & FACE).
And *this* is a VERY strong review... I would encourage you.. to knock out every notorious pepper in this fashion. THANK YOU.
I will send you one of my peppers when they bloom. I have 11 Dragon's Breath plants that have just started growing. I should have some pods before October If the conditions stay right. I have 6 Carolina Reaper pods sitting in my window ripening as we speak. Perfect specimens.
oh my god i love this channel
Late to the party but capsaicin oils are alcohol soluble so the best way to get it out of your mouth is a stong alcohol voka/everclear etc. You're just moving it along to your stomach though I prefer the burn in my mouth to my gut.
I'm very sensitive to spice, sometimes things listed as "mild" are too much for me. So I'm always trying methods to deal with it.
Ime the higher fat content milk products definitely work better than plain milk. I'd also try powdered milk reconstituted beforehand, bc I tend to have issues with it taking a lot of effort to actually mix in. Half and half is the optimum I've found between spice killing & not disgusting to drink on its own.
Another good one I've found, though, is lassi -- an Indian yogurt- based drink. It comes in both salty & sweet versions, I don't like the salty one so idk if it kills spice any better. Flavoring doesn't seem to change much one way or another.
Try coconut cream as a cooler
Try salted fish to reduce the heat. Dont take my word on it though, but I recently tried it and it kinda helps.
Edible organic hay
Bread
Heavy cream
Whole milk
Different kinds of alcohol non toxic or blindness inducing
The most sugary thing you can think of.
Fermented milk alcoholic beverage
Maybe hydrogen peroxide rinse and spit.
Butter?
Try some of that ;)
Hot water, is the best for spicy. It accelerates the the burning sensation. It is indeed more painful, but like quickly pulling off a bandage, it over sooner. Take small sips, and spit it out until the burning is gone.
Pure vanillin acts on the TRPV1 receptors also. I have a jar of it and it's always a trip to smell vanilla and then taste pure heat
Seems the opposite of the Naga, which is my personal favourite. Very little throat burn, no ring sting the next day either, just instant lip and mouth pain, and that's where it starts, and the taste is incredible. I really dislike those chillis that are like the Scorpion. Fully agree with you.
The problem with peppers is that the heat really depends on the plant. Even plants of the same cultivar producing identical pods may widely vary in heat. I have 4 Butch T Reaper plants, grown from seed at the same time, and only one of them produces extremely hot fruits. That’s why I grow at least 3 for each cultivar. That said, I much prefer the taste of the classic Reaper. Much better flavor and smoother “attack”.
Super milk with condensed and powdered is the best milk. You have the sweetness of the condensed, a slight saltiness from the powdered, far more actual milk content to carry away the heat and most of the drinkability of the regular sort, too. You just have to mix it very well.
The worst is the capsaicin cramps in the stomach, those double you over in pain that slowly ramps in and holds for what feels like forever while you turn white and sweat bullets rolling around in agony clutching your stomach in the fetal position trying to find some position, any, that will give even the slightest relief.
Sounds like food poisoning. Does it give you vomiting and diarrhea too?
@@nytrodioxide no, it's called capsaicin cramps, it's a smooth muscle cramp in your stomach as a response to the chemical that causes the heat sensation in the peppers. It's not physically damaging you, just causing lots of pain.
I Thank Holy GOD You Approached These Peppers With Great Caution...and With Great Methodology.
Suggestion for a "spice killer" - bread! Put some in your mouth, chew on it(make sure it comes with contact with where it burns) and spit it out, repeat. The logic behind this is that the bread is good at absorbing stuff like oils so it acts like a sponge absorbing the capsaicin oils.
You know it's dangerous when you only eat 3 particulates of a pepper and feel like death for 24 hours.
I personally drink milk with a bit of honey mixed in to help me tolerate spicy foods. I don't know what it is but the added sweetness seems to help.
The short cut to the bathroom with ethereal music was a nice touch
There are a few variants of the capsaicin molecule, (some have a slow burn or fast burn etc) but as I recall the most prevalent and potent are about 16million scoville. Which would imply the individual chile tested at 3M was at least 18% pure capsaicin. This must be on a dried basis.(I never hear critical details with these stats; like fresh/dry, with seeds, with placental tissue etc) I can find some lab papers that show Carolina reaper II as 120mg/g (12%) combined capsaicinoids on a dry weight basis including pericarp, seeds, and placenta but no peduncle(stem), and converting this to about 2million SHU based on the capsaicinoids respective conversion coefficients. But of course individual crops and fruits can have substantial variance, the record claims are probably the best of several samples.
Me: "Oooo a spicy pepper video! I wonder which kind of pepp-"
Jared's Washroom: *"E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E H H H H H H H H H H H H H H"*
Plain Greek yogurt is my go-to. A quality brand like Fagé is great. The higher fat content (say, 5%) is best. The fat draws the spiciness off the tongue and the enzymes from the live cultures help to break the rest down quicker.
I've actually noticed a difference in how the heat works depending upon what form you have the pepper. Sauces and dishes with the pepper (reapers specifically) cooked in are much more mouth forward where as the fruit is more delayed and a throat and stomach heat.
lol oh my god the church music! I'm dying! :D
Swish and spit out high proof alcohol. It will denature the oil from the pepper and by spitting it out you remove the oils from the mouth and tongue. Won't help the gut or the day after though. Good luck, love the vids.
you took the heat of the pepper very well i was dying when i ate one
"that's not death knocking at my door" 😁
So, I take it that it was nearly a religious experience ? A religerist experienced, as it were !!!
You have to try sea grapes! Edit: they are like sweet caviar I love them
more people should see this mr youtube algorithm
The orange tasting pooping powder is the best . It like coats your stomach and the pepper
It sounds weird but it's really effective to rinse your mouth with some olive oil then spit, after that just get the taste of the oil out of your mouth, it's very effective I heard because the capsaicin binds to the oil.
Some argue the big mustard mamma is the pepper x. Also the Carolina Reaper is the 7pot Primo
I haven't seen all the pepper episodes but I'm fairly certain that coating your mouth and throat in (olive) oil before ingesting will block most of the heat from finding purchase
Running Scoville test equipment can be very expensive and there's always a range. Take Jalapenos for example. Some of them are as mild as Bell Peppers.
Dude, this was almost like watching Hot Ones, only without the questions. My stomach hurt from seeing you do that!
Eat some mashed potatoes before eating the pepper, so your stomach already has a nice 'bed' of mushy carbs to absorb the hot oils and protect stomach lining. Then honestly? Eat some high-fat icecream. It's thicker than milk, has sugar(which helps with heat), and it's cold.
Only other idea I can think of is to boil some slippery elm maybe? mix it with something like pectin and maybe even some heavy cream and a bit of sugar? Might coat everything in your throat/stomach in a nice thick mucous.
Best I got to help your burning woes.
I was thinking maybe a slurry with powdered milk could help? Just add a small amount of water. Or maybe even mix it with oil? Oil usually coats everything
Hard liquor Like scotch or rum because capsaicin is alcohol soluble and it is said to dilute the heat
VODKA!! swish it around then milk and then water. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Why does this guy always sort of remind me of Milo from the Atlantis movie?
Ice cream is really good for cutting the heat especially vanilla
Ed Currie (Reaper, pepper x fame) is keeping pepper x tight lipped, until it reaches optimum stability. Right now, it is in the f5 stage. F8 is the level he is looking for.
Have you tried baking soda in some water or just straight for a "burn killer?"
I don't know if it's been suggested, but try drinking a little half & half before trying the chilis. Have more afterward you please, but something very sugary will help.
If you had to choose one that works well for cooling your mouth down I would suggest drinking a cold sweet drink like Kool-Aid or iced tea you're not going to want to go for lemonade because that worsens burning because it's sour
Will deffo need to watch out for these seeds!!
I made some burgers today and coated them in Ed's Reaper Squeezin's, salt and garlic powder... it was so good, but man I was sweating. I used way more paper towels just to catch the sweat from my face than to actually use for dinner purposes
