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.

Back when I first ate sushi, my mom always ordered spider rolls. I'd eat them, get an itchy mouth, but assume it was the Wasabi. Then I got braver and ordered other stuff and even with Wasabi, itch gone.
I already knew I was allergic to shrimp and lobster, but crab had always been fine. Spider crabs and blue crabs are in fact not fine for me. Other shellfish is interesting:
Can I eat....
Clams? No.
Oysters? Yes.
Mussels? Yes.
Scallops? Yes.
Conch? Yes.
Crabs? Maybe.
Lobster? No.
Fish? Yes.
Shrimp? No.So I have a shellfish allergy that doesn't always trigger. It always triggers with what it does trigger though.

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.

I miss Doritos Blaze. Those mfs were spicier than your run-of-the-mill grocery store potato chip. I don't think they make them any more; haven't seen them in years.
The downside of loving spicy food is that there isn't a huge market for those who enjoy superhots. Many of the spicier products I've enjoyed over the years are discontinued cause they (presumably) didn't sell enough.

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.
