Why are chilli peppers hotter on the way out than they are on the way in?!


Question: ..............and it burns, burns, burns - that ring of fire.......... that ring of fire.......


Answers: ..............and it burns, burns, burns - that ring of fire.......... that ring of fire.......

The heat that you experience when eating chillis isn't actually a "taste" which is noticed by your tastebuds, it is due to a chemical reaction between a substance called capsaicin and your nerve fibres.

Capsaicin binds to the nerves and stimulates a similar reaction pathway to heat. That's why we register it as a burning feeling.

That's why you can feel them on the way out without tastebuds, but I'm not sure why the feeling is stronger.

If I was guessing, I would say that its because your anus has a higher density of nerves, after all, your throat and mouth have to be quite tough to cope with normal foods and real heat, while your anus is known to be very sensitive.

hahahahahaha

very good!

maybe because of your open sores there????

ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

away from chilli peppers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I think they're hot both coming and going. I love growing various habs and chile peppers from Pepper Joe's. We usually have them growing in our R&D lab at work too.

The seeds and veins in peppers are where the real heat is at, except for the Red Savina, it is just dangerous hot all over.

The seeds usually aren't digested completely, so that might explain why they still burn your insides out when you hit the royal throne! :O Ouuccchh!!

I can relate, but love the pain and the endorphine mellowness of Chinese Capsicum peppers. Mmmm!

if they are as hot as you say,keep lots of loo rolls in the fridge

Ha ha ha! I thought you meant the band when I first seen the question and was mighty confused!

Then you have never heard of the infamous Indian Curry!

The explosion will last for days. ^_^

Well, it's just the same principle as a jet engine.
Speed and temperature are just a lot higher at the exhaust.
