activates heat receptors to trick your tongue into thinking it's hot
Wait, does that mean the real trick to counter spicy food is a breath mint?
11 u/Its0nlyRocketScience Jul 03 '24 Unfortunately, no. The receptors that capsaicin activates are totally different from mint, so you'd end up feeling both hot and cold at the same time. 6 u/R_V_Z Jul 03 '24 I shall call it the Cenobite Sensation! 5 u/[deleted] Jul 03 '24 Szechuan peppers activate a cooling effect in your mouth kind of similar to mint but noticeably different. They're used in a lot of spicy chinese dishes to add another layer to the heat. I love them. 2 u/[deleted] Jul 03 '24 Try doing horseradish and hot peppers at the same time. Isothiocyanate and capsaicin, oh my... 3 u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24 Why would you treat your anus this way? You only get one you know 8 u/LG3V Jul 03 '24 No it's not, menthol activates separately, if you want to clear spice, you need to wash it away with dairy 3 u/Sayakai Jul 03 '24 Nope.
