Not the silly stuff sold at stores, but with fresh chiles freshly cut. I've found myself to be building a tolerance, but not stupidity like those two girls. I don't eat chiles/peppers by themselves to try to get YouTube hits. I eat them with other foods for added flavor and of course spicyness/hotness. I bet those two girls have never even eaten a real jalapeņo before. There is definitely a difference between what you find depending on the region of the country you are in. I've eaten "jalapeņos" that that tasted like water. Then the ones you find here some will make you shed tears and open up your sinusesreal quick. I would say I started to eat real salsas/chiles with roughly 60-70% of my meals once I had to cook for myself. My favorites are "green" peppers like serranos and jalapeņos vs "red" ones. But I saw these at the grocery store, so I said, what the heck?
Great post
