I saw some buldak cheese version on sale so I got some and after 5 bites I’ve sweat the equivalent to half an olympic sized pool and starting to see aliens. Is there something genetically different with people who enjoy this?

    Spiciness isn’t related to taste buds. Related; you don’t have taste buds on your eyes or up your butt, but I’ll bet you can feel pepper oil there! So don’t worry, you can still have plenty of ability to taste, and still have high heat tolerance.

      you dont have “taste buds” as those are defined specifically… but you do have taste receptors in your anus.

        It does explain the seemingly ESP I appear to have with knowing when a fart is a real stinker even before it’s come out… and not just based on how my guts are or are not churning.
