Anything spicier than black pepper is too spicy for me. Then again, some things that are labeled as "spicy" don't taste spicy to me. I'm not sure what's going on there.

That’s the thing. You don’t taste spicey heat. You feel it. It’s a sensation.

As of late, I can’t handle spice higher than Buffalo Wild Wings Mild. I can’t even handle the Taco Bell Diablo sauce.

I used to be able to drizzle that stuff all over. My mouth would be numb for hours.

Now, I can’t even handle it after hitting 32. I don’t know why. It sucks. Also it completely destroys me due to IBS.

I'm sorry you have to deal with IBS.

An interesting thing about the diablo sauce is that I've tried it in moderate amounts and was fine. I didn't think the fire sauce was really hot either.  Of course I can't come up with any examples now, but there are things that are considered mild that make my mouth BURN. I used to work at Taco Bell a long time ago though and maybe I got desensitized to their spices.

I still do try it even though I can't handle it much. haha. Diablo sauce tastes good on stuff, but moderately as you say. I used to put 6 packets on a taco. Now its half of one on each. lol.

6 packets on a taco!? Whoa. That would be too much for me.

I like mild to medium spicy... I'll try super spicy just to see what it's like, but it's not something I would enjoy as much on my food lol
