Why do people like spicy food I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW THERE ACTUALLY LOVE SPICY FOOD. I DON'T EVEN ENJOY IT. I JUST DON'T GET IT. IT'S A SENSATION OF PAIN, AND YOU LITERALLY LIKE THAT. LIKE, IF I'M EATING FOOD, HAVE LIKE, DROOL COMING OUT AND MY NOSE GETTING ALL STUFFY BECAUSE I'M EATING SOMETHING WITH THE SENSATION OF NEEDLES STABBING MY MOUTH. LIKE, HOW IS THAT ENJOYABLE TO PEOPLE? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL. AND I KNOW OH, YOU'RE SISSY CAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE SPICY FOOD, BUT WHY WOULD I? IT'S OPTIONAL TO EAT SPICY FOOD. LIKE, WHY WOULD I WANT TO FEEL PAIN WHILE FOOD IS SUPPOSED TO BE ENJOYABLE, AND IN MY OPINION, FEELING PAIN IN MY THROAT AND IS NOT ENJOYABLE I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THAT.
