THE HACK AFTER EATING SOMETHING SUPER SPICEY
CINCO DE MAYO
IS COMING UP AND .. SPICEY FOOD IS PART OF IT.
WHEN YOU GET AHOLD OF A SUPER SPICEY FOOD… AND THERE IS NO MILK..
THE BEST WAY TO COOL YOUR TONGUE DOWN IS…. YOGURT .
That fiery burn from hot wings or a jalapeño surprise? Water won’t help—it just spreads the capsaicin (the compound that causes heat) around your mouth.
The real hero is sugar. Sugar molecules bind to capsaicin and help remove it from nerve receptors on your tongue, cutting the burn in seconds.
Next time you're sweating bullets mid-meal, grab a sugar packet or a piece of candy instead of chugging water. Pro move: keep a couple sugar packets in your glove box for those emergency taco runs.
