This is why I love a good buffalo sauce. Even if it's really spicy, the flavor is so awesome.
That said, I am a fan of very spicy foods - I can never explain why I love it but I do. When we went to mexico I bought a shit ton of hot sauces that have skull and crossbones on them and warnings and I feel my bowels turning to water just looking at them. Haven't tried them yet. Also got some ghost chili stuff.
The worst thing I ever ate was ghost chili wings. The flavor was a bit disgusting (fruity?), but the heat. It wasn't so bad that it was unbearable for me. I could've eaten the full plate, I think. I mean.. the pain was pretty fucking bad, but not intolerable. What ended up happening, though, was that I started to get extremely light-headed and got tunnel vision so I was physically forced to stop. The heat stuck with me for a few hours and I had sweat pouring off my body. I think it was a moment of my mind could handle the pain but my body shut down. It was actually a scary moment.
The shits that I took after that were the worst. Imagine the hot sauce coming out with the same heat it went in with, it was terrible.

Same thing happened to me when I ate a ghost pepper burrito. Mine was sickly sweet also. It was super spicy, but not bad enough on the tongue that I didn't eat it. However, my body rejected the burrito implant and I started to feel a little nauseous. I've never had my body give up on food before. I spent the next day with my ass on fire shitting ghost pepper hot sauce also haha.
Tabasco sauce is mediocre. I've even seen how it's made and it looks like it should be absolutely delicious, but it's just disappointing.

This pisses me off so much. It's like they dumb down the word "spicy" so pussies can say they like spicy food. I like sweating/tearing up a little. Thai is about the only food where the word means anything.

It's funny you say that because years ago I can remember having to order my food "slightly spicy" at Indian Restaurants and it would come out perfect, plenty of heat but not Vindaloo levels of tear your mouth apart. Nowadays I can order frigan five alarm spicy from those same restaurants and it's barely as spicy as the old slightly used to be.

Spicy fastfood and spicy ethnic restaurant are two entirely different things. You'll never find anything so spicy that it actually burns or makes you sweat at any nationwide chain type place.
Now, go to your local mom&pop mexican, indian, or chinese/thai place and they can make some shit that will wreck you if you actually want it really spicy.

Exactly. When we go to local Thai restaurants around here, we ask them to make the dishes "Thai spicy". Otherwise when you say spicy they ask if you want it mild, medium, or hot, and even hot spicy isn't very spicy.
Also if you order things off the Thai language menu that is loosely translated, almost all of that stuff is by default as spicy as you can get it.

I made a grave mistake at a Thai place for a work lunch. The items on the menu had a little pepper next to each plate to signify how hot each dish was. I thought I was a badass so I ordered the one item with 3 peppers, everyone else got 0 or 1. The waiter kept saying "you sure?" and I told him yes.
That shit was almost as hot as the ghost chili wings.. almost. Had the worst burning throughout my stomach all day.

About 3 years ago, I bought some spicy mustard from the Madison Mustard Museum, called Hit & Run.
Got it home, and slathered it on some good garlic beef dogs. Man that shit was HOT, but tasty as fuck. Later that night, I feel like I'm having a heart attack, and having previous heart problems I was kind of worried, and had forgotten about the mustard. Well, an overnight stay in the hospital and $1200 later I was told it was esophageal spasming. That's when the far too late AHA moment came.

Spice that's "hot"(not what you super-tasters call 'spicy') is for bullshit food that doesn't taste good to begin with. Like bad mac and cheese or grilled chicken. The actual HOT stuff is terrible tasting. Fucking Blazing Wings and all that shit taste fucking awful. Actual stuff that tastes good is more of the tabasco/frank's level of heat.

Even people that can eat/like spicy food gotta agree with this.
About the same age I started getting hang overs (28-29?), my body started paying me back for eating spicy fucking food. Fuck that shit. Good ol'Tabasco and Frank's satisfy the spicy urge and are delicious as well.
The problem with the quesarito is that the shredded chicken version is absolute shit when put next to the $1.79 regular shredded chicken burrito. The quesadilla part of the quesarito isn't even noticeable anyways.

I'm sorry but the reason those peppers are so hot (the naturally occurring, non crossbred ones) is a natural defense mechanism BECAUSE they taste so fucking good. It's science you nitwits. I'm not even kidding. Plenty of really hot food is really damn tasty.

I've just tried the steak version so far, and I wasn't expecting anything special beforehand. I was a little surprised though. I don't know if they use a new kind of "cheese" sauce, or maybe I accidentally got fresh "steak" for once, or what it was, but there was some kind of flavor going on that I didn't recognize and I liked it. But still, fuck whoever decided that putting rice in burritos should be a thing. Burritos are not "fish rolls for fat people" okay?

Yeah, I don't know where that came from. I lived in Texas my whole youth and never saw that, then moved to California and it was all the rage, now it seems everyone is doing it. Rice is a side, not a burrito filler. Burritos should be meat, beans, veggies, cheese, and sauce or some combination of those.
