How is me pointing out what you’re implying me “playing big man”? You’re reading that in yourself. This isn’t a contest but it is a subreddit about eating spicy food. I’ve been eating really hot peppers for several months so now I need my food to be hotter to be “spicy” to me. I’m just surprised it’s not more relatable/common to more people on here. Especially with how many people seem to grow super hots these days. Seems like there might be different types of spicy food eaters is what my original question was getting at. Like we eat spicy food for different reasons.

I’m fine with the heat level and like the way eating food that spicy makes me feel. I would caution others not do it unless they’ve built up a tolerance. Eating this burger wasn’t like some one chip challenge experience for me.
