It can be fun to safely experience sensory extremes. Many people get an endorphin/dopamine rush from it.
Other than some gut irritation it's not a significant hazard. Like yeah keep it safely stored from sensitive people and pets also it's probably not the best road trip snack or whatever. Certainly less dangerous than alcohol, fireworks, cigarettes or texting while driving.
I can get sensory extremes by walking outside, right now. I'm good on that front.
It's clear I'm on the minority side here, no problem on that, but is it that weird to expect food to have flavour and not hurt me while I'm eating it? It seems reasonable.
I think the problem lies with calling things like the 1 chip challenge or "melt you wussy butthole" varieties of spicy challenges "food".
I mean I guess you ingest them, but that's kinda like calling magic mushrooms food or ipecac syrup food. They are things that you eat for a specific purpose that is not nourishment.
It's totally normal to like or not like spicy and i doubt anyone would judge you for that. I think your comment's wording is a bit reactive though.
