Food that is as spicy as possible only for sake of being spicy is pointless, amirite?

Have you considered that some people might just like the spiciness itself? Sure, if they're being a showboat about it then their just egotistical, but some people just like really spicy food.

Yeah but there are limits to what is a reasonable amount of spiciness - like my friend did the "spiciest chip in the world" challenge for his stag / bachelors party. Its brutal- no one "enjoys" that level of heat (Unless I suppose, you are just chasing the endorphine rush of the pain, but that has nothing to do with taste)

Sure, if they're being a showboat about it then their just egotistical Even then that is a reason. Not agreeing with someone's reasoning doesn't make something pointless.

Tolerance has a lot to do with what you grew up eating. I have a mexican friend and he couldn't get enough siracha and hot chili peppers in his Pho. He doesn't even act effected by the heat. Remember, spicy foods can release endorphins. Some people have built their food choices around a hot and spicy explosion in their mouth.

No one sane eats spicy food for that reason. I just have to have some level of masochism in me, or just enjoy the burning sensation. I enjoy it regardless of others. It burns and feels good. Endorphins or pride, it doesn't matter I just like the feeling and taste especially when it's paired with a dark soda. Scorched tongue and all.

What food is spicy just to be as spicy as possible? There's those one chip challenge things, where it's like a single Dorito that's so hot it has warnings on the package, is that what you mean?

Well, then it's not for you. I personally think their normal is pretty mild so I always go for the x2 spicy so I can actually feel the kick. I find the x3 is about at the same level as the x2 so I don't really feel a difference between them.

I mean its not pointless...the point is for it to be spicy. Maybe people like the the spice over flavor. People are different.

The spiciness is literally the point.

Food that doesn't make my eyes twitch isn't worth eating

Some people like to challenge themselves. It has nothing to do with flavor. Let people like what they like
