Chili oil is like setting a 15 minute timer for me. Ten minutes in, my gut starts making terrible noise, and five minutes later, there's no chili oil in my system anymore.

Tastes delicious! But I learned a long time ago that it's an ingredient I need to avoid whenever I'm eating while on the run. Err, on the go.

On the flip side, I never understood the "coffee makes you poop" meme, but it's apparently a similar biological reality for a lot of people.



Lol I time my morning shower around my coffee so I have a clean butt!

I know some coffee in the States has / used to have 160b (Annatto) in it. I react to any foods with much 160b. I generally shower afterwards as well for a clean butt and hell was being out on a few hour trip and eating a food I didn't recognize as being on the bad list.


Here I thought I was the only person who did that.


Coffee sets a timer for me - if I had a decent amount of chili the night before, or at lunch with a coffee, the fun begins as they encourage each other.


It's not just something in coffee. I think it's psychological. I used to need to go after the first cup of the day, but now just pouring the coffee in the cup sends me to the bathroom before I even take a sip.
