Today they put mild salsa on my burrito instead of hot, and I was shocked at how nearly inedible I found it. I’ve got nothing on these guys, though… Boing Boing: Boing Boing Emporium: The Cult of Capsaicin

The Story with Nuts OK, bear with me. I’m still trying to make sense of this. Put a bowl of peanuts in front of me at a bar and I’ll clean it out, E. Coli be damned. I can’t stand smooth peanut butter. It’s gotta be crunchy. Plain M&Ms vs. peanut M&Ms? I can’t stand…
