I’m also curious why I can eat (as an example) an infinite number of medium wings no problem, but after one super spicy inferno wing, now I experience the medium wing as though it’s equally spicy as the inferno wing.

Like at BWW if I eat a mango habanero, suddenly parmesan garlic are too hot for me 😅
