Food companies should be more honest about how spicy their product is. amirite?

Kind of impossible seeing as different people have different tolerance levels. Don't they normally come with a scoville rating? Why don't you just use that to judge them, rather than the name?

Scoville is not a good rating because it only measure capsaicin, and not all spiciness is caused by capsaicin. Also, sugar and protein help to reduce our feeling of irritation caused by capsaicin. Which is why milk is a such a good drink to cure spiciness. Therefore, even if we are talking about the same scoville level, a spicy milk (if that thing exist) and a spicy potato chips would give you totally different spiciness. That's why you only see Scoville rating on hot sauce but not food. The rating becomes meaningless if you talk about anything rather than hot sauce.

Fast food places won't come with that rating. OP should not even expect actual spicy food from fast food places, they are made for the average person to be able to consume.

Don't expect food marketed towards white people to actually be spicy when it claims it is spicy. Most white people think a sprinkle of black pepper is pretty spicy, so a lot of "spicy" food in the west will scale off of that. If you want spicy, go to Thai/Indian restaurants and read the reviews beforehand. Ask them to make you destroy your toilet and they should be able to manage that.

Exactly, so you understand most white people can't eat extremely spicy food the same way Asians can. I'm also white.
