I like the concept of the alarm bell. It'd make eating spicy stuff much more convenient.

I once made fried rice with orange and white chilli pepers... it burned all the way down and I had to throw it into the garbage...However, I did  learn pasta and Salsa is a good mix.

I will never understand peoples' fascination with incinerating their inside during a process which should be a very enjoyable one.
Does eating really need to be made this complicated?

I have GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).

I get burning in my esophagus alot.   Nothing I eat is safe from the effect.  Even plain white rice will do it, so I must take medication frequently.  :<

... that... almost does make absolutely no sense. I find myself in agreement with the Pony. I eat to enjoy... not to worry about whether or not I will have stomach lining left.

Agreed. Sounds like my kind of wings.

You only live once... enjoy the taste.  Spicy ftw.

I thought the reporter's name was Michael Colon for a second there...

barbeque sauce is towards the upper limit of my tolerance of spicy foods (not the limit, but I don't have a good example of that)

The rest of my coworkers have much higher tolerances(and make fun of me for being 'bland'), and I know a couple who might be interested in this.

Interesting, but tells you a lot about the state of America that people are having to sign a waver protecting the resteraunt for serving them food they've selected and requested from a menu.

Well, do recall people so sue restaurants for getting hot coffee, a beverage they did, indeed request, simply because they spilled it on themselves.

I do a really convincing fall. Should I be applying my physical drama skills in shops across America?

Yes. And give us a share of the money.

As my pratfall managers, you're entitled to a 12% cut.

... is that 12% of what you earn, or 12% less than what we're earning now?

The weird thing is that I can't stand hot peppers, but I have no problem with curry.

I'm not sure what it would do to your colon, but I do wonder if you're likely to have trouble, however, when the pepper hits the anus.

I come from a mostly cajun line, so spicy food is a staple here.  My dad could take on those wings though.  He'll sit and eat fresh habanero's and barely break a sweat.  I think the only thing that's ever gotten to him is chinese hot mustard, and even then he's built up a tolerance to the stuff.  As for me... no I wouldn't go near those wings.  My limit is cayenne pepper.

Habanero's are good. Super spicy, but good. Jalapenos are, however, much too bland for me now. I have to find myself a good midway pepper.

I grew habaneros one year.

I tricked my little brother into eating one.

I use them in cooking once in a while. It's nice, actually, because I can get the spice I want in a dish, but there's so little actual physical pepper, it's not upsetting to stomachs as much as jalapeƱos.

Prilosec, take one a day and eat what you want.

The Oxnard chili fest occurs near here and I eat Habaneros in a weekly basis.

In my spice rack I have dried and powdered Red Savina pepper and they grow them around here, cause the Habanero just wasn't hot enough.

Pass the jambalaya and gumbo please. :D
I think there's a point for me where it passes from spicy-tasty to spicy-painy. I don't like that level of spiciness, although some people do.
