Drink 🥛milk or eat ice cream 🍦🍨. Water won’t help.

I reached mouth-burning zen after staying in North-East Thailand with locals for a few weeks. The key is to remind yourself that nothing is actually burning or hurting you in any real way, and then to passively *observe* the sensation with that in mind.

I know it sounds obvious, and it's not really news, but breaking through that barrier is a fantastic feeling, and it solves the problem for the rest of one's life.

Taylor Swift’s BFF Selena Gomez has a 🍨🍦song!

(I prefer 🇮🇹gelato or vegan ice cream.)

On a Scoville Scale?

Yes, like the Dönershop asking mit scharf? Yes mate, go to town! Out of ten, nine will maybe do a bit more, but one will be like: you asked for it.

I love it when that happens.

😂

There was this Thai restaurant where one could choose the spiciness of their meal on a scale of one to five with five being the spiciest. But there was also a sixth choice which most of the customers weren't aware of. The waiters called it masochist spicy. Don't do this at home.

Years later, in a cafe, a friend casually mentions to a group of us that spicy is not a taste, but pain, and went on to further explain what that means. The entire scene and our reactions resembled the Snatch dairy scene.

And then, after that scene and a couple weeks of research and denial, it finally sunk in: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami are the five tastes detected by the tongue. Spicy is detected by a pain receptor, more accurately by the trigeminal nerve.

Haha, I had that same experience yesterday. 🤣
