    I hate that this even exists, that there's infrastructure for manufacturing and distributing it, that people spend time working on it. it just sucks, it's just food that is not good on purpose

      Americans will see other cultures doing something that uncomfortably clashes w/ their lifestyle (eating spicy foods) and assume it must be masochism. Then they start to replicate it cynically with an emphasis on the "challenge" aspect. The USA is really something else

        I don’t really think it’s that deep. People like spicy things and like things that say they are really spicy. Same thing as with sour candy

      This entire thread is way fucking overblown. As if a spicy corn chip trinket creates any food waste or whatever the fuck over the million other stupid, boring ways we waste shit

      I see that energy drink can you and millions of other people couldn't be bothered to recycle.

          By those standards the only good thing you could do for the environment is turn yourself into fertiliser.

        Consumer waste is nothing, nothing compared to industrial waste. I don't drink anything from a can (just as a matter of coincidence) but none of the people who do and hypothetically don't recycle harm the environment as the manufacturing plants dedicated to tasteless spice masochism.

        it's just categorically lame, even if it's not the end of the world
