resontes theory on spice🔥

[The Resonte!]

my theory is that the polar opposite of 🔥spiciness🔥, the taste that primarily burns people, is mintiness.

hear me out

mintiness is all about coldness and chills, and spiciness is all about heat and burning
hence: polar opposites

if you eat spicy food and breath mints you'll probably get a tornado in your mouth



just try to prove me wrong on this one

note: you cant

what if I try it

[TristanLuigi]

this is actually completely accurate
menthol, the compound responsible for mintiness, activates the cold receptors in your mouth
capsaicin, the compound responsible for spiciness, activates the heat receptors

"Menthol's ability to chemically trigger the cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin is responsible for the well-known cooling sensation it provokes when inhaled, eaten, or applied to the skin.[1] In this sense, it is similar to capsaicin, the chemical responsible for the spiciness of hot chilis (which stimulates heat sensors, also without causing an actual change in temperature)."

however, they wouldn't cancel each other out, just activate both receptors
which would be a weird experience

[Nonnel]

I think I'm gonna try it

Also your theory is actually correct, OP.

I can't claim innocence in this matter but this happens regularly on the BLF

Mint and chili are literally opposites.

what if u eat them in the opposite order

[SeventhSandwich]

Try applying something with lots of menthol to your ballsack.

Garlic and garlic, too, apparently.

That's on a different scale. It's a pretty confusing graphic, actually. Look at the labels (TRPA1, etc.) to get your bearings
