    Different people have different levels of heat resistance. My dad will abort mission, if you shake the pepper shaker more than once. Obviously, he doesn’t have it in him to go back for seconds. I do, but having grown up in that household, it takes a while for the same heat resistance to build up. I bought sriracha for the first time a few months ago, and you could certainly still melt my face off with it, despite me using it again and again.

      My parents think a jalapeno-based sauce will kill you, and they refuse to believe there even exists anything hotter than that.

        I’m SEA-n but relatively speaking I’m on the lower end of the ladder heat resistant-wise.

        I was so excited when I could finally buy Jalapeno in my country cuz I wanna make Poppers. When I bit a raw one my reaction was “my dude, this is a tomato”, my western media fooled me into thinking it’s the hottest thing ever.

        Then I found out about the Scoville unit and realized the Silling Labuyo we raw-dogging daily is order of magnitude hotter lol. Jalapeno actually tastes great though.
