I’m someone who grew up near the Canadian border in the northeast and I now live in the southwest. This speaks to me… I have got used to authentic Mexican food now but for the first couple years everything hurt to eat. It was just so good that you push through to keep eating it!
I’m a Mexican who grew up in Mexico and it’s taken me 30+ years to become friends with Serranos and Habaneros. Sometimes the best things in life come in small doses. It’s given me perspective to try things I didn’t like again. Except Balut (I’m sorry for my closed mind).
Flamin hot Doritos are the hottest of the normal spicy chips, but the LeBron Sour cream and cheddar flamin hot are by far the best.
The owner of Doritos, PepsiCo, bought SodaStream for $3.2bn and owns 50% of Sabra both of which had taken advantage of the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Junk shit anyway.
This reminds me of the story at the guy who posted that peanut butter tasted spicy to him.
Yeah, he had a light allergy to peanuts.
I’ve told this story a lot on Lemmy so if you’ve seen it, just ignore it.
I found out I have oral allergy syndrome when I started getting into making smoothies. I said to my best friend (an autistic gentleman), “I love the potassium and macros on bananas but I just don’t get how yall get past the burning.”
He looks me full in the face and says, “No one burns. Bananas don’t burn. They don’t burn anyone.”
And that is how I found out I’m allergic.
Threads where people find out they’re allergic to something or colorblind are my favorite. I’m always amazed that people can live their whole lives just accepting something because they don’t know any different and haven’t talked to anyone about it.
Seeing someone go “wait, strawberries aren’t spicy??” or “you guys are joking right? those images look the same!” always makes my day.
This one can be attributed to my Dad (who died before I found out). He gave me a banana when I was little, and I said, “I don’t like how these burn.”
He said, “Oh, that’s normal. Eat it anyway. It’s good for you.”
…so we know what side of the family I got it from.
When I finally learned what an astigmatism was I said “oh shit I just thought that’s how eyes processed light.”
Og Takis. I miss the recipe before white people “discovered” them
it hurts so good
