    It’s always been a joke here in the U.S. Mostly held up by the fact that they stick with using grade d beef or what not. In truth most everyone I know who has joked about it don’t really get sick off it or they wouldn’t eat it. (Also most sickness like this comes from lettuce so the grade d meat really has no impact)

    But everyones mileage varies, I’ve never had a problem with my asshole stinging after eating spicy food, but many people swear it’s going to happen when they are eating something spicy. I figure most said that as a joke as well… but maybe these people all have really weak stomachs and should be watching what they eat if spice bothers them.

      Okay hear me out. I love spicy food. I love hot sauces. My mouth has a quite high tolerance for capsaicin. I would consider anything below 100K Scoville mild at best and every single standard commercial sauce (Tabasco, Cholula, Huy Fong Sriracha, Frank’s etc.) no more spicier than ketchup. When it’s taco night at home I drench mine in hot sauces. My asshole does absolutely not have the same tolerance.

        I don’t understand how that would work. I guess your tongue and rectum must have different taste buds, lolol
