I'm good with hot food, to the point I actually occasionally use nasty sauces like the infamous Da Bomb on things I legitimately eat, but I'll never get people that say sriracha isn't hot.

Maybe I buy a special one or something, or it varies wildly from person to person, but i like to put a good juicy squirt of sriracha on my cheese sandwiches and it definitely still clears my sinuses quite effectively.

There’s really high variation between bottles after the pepper suppliers fiasco.

It's spicy but it's not really hot but I do think it might indeed be a palette thing.

Or just personal definition, i see you use spicy, but I just call everything that can give me the sniffles "hot".

When I say something's spicy I'm usually referring to literally a large amount/variation of spices, which aren't necessarily hot at all.

What about pepper, it's not hot it's spicy but enough will 100% make your eyes water and burn your mouth.
