The cold comfort is that nobody ever learns that lesson in a fun way! Or if you're me, ADHD stops you ever learning it apparently...

This is coming from someone who’s done and said a LOT of stupid things, and this is coming from a place of love, but why does it matter to you? You’ll never see her again. I think that’s something to take comfort in.

Yeah, my best friend did the one chip challenge and I'm pretty sure he threw up. Then he bought me one, I ate it and threw up a few hours later while going through pretty much everything everyone else does when eating that godforsaken chip. I enjoy spicy foods a lot, but I wouldn't eat that thing again if you paid me.

Yes. I would describe it like that.

Lets not gatekeep what is and is not spicy. I enjoy spicy things. But you do know that a jalapeno is considered spicy by many. It's a good descriptor, so just because others don't consider it THAT spicy does not mean that someone doesn't enjoy spicy food.

>Friends don’t do that.

Eh… I can definitely see a case where OP is constantly pinning after their ex and complaining or moping about it to his friends, and they constantly tell him for his own sake to either cut her off or go for it, and eventually they’re just kind of sick of constantly hearing about the perpetual state of miserable limbo he’s keeping himself in—both because they care about him, and are also tried of him being a dumbass—and so they push him to do something drastic.

Pushing him to do it while he’s blackout drunk and she’s in a relationship is pretty awful, but I could see how a friend might actually think that their current situation is so toxic anyway, that anything is better than maintaining the status quo.

Are those good friends? Probably not, but I can tell you from similar situations and dynamics (both as a participant and an outside observer) that friendship’s are a two way street, and infinite patience and unconditional love and support is not—and should not be—a thing from anyone but maybe your parents.

I’ve had a couple of friends that were in similar situations and the first few months it’s easy to empathize and be completely supportive, but after a few years of trying to get them to do anything, you start to feel like the friendship is a one way street where everything always becomes about them and their issues, and like your own friendship dynamics is completely unhealthy and starting to become drain that’s negatively affecting you.

It’s not great for anyone involved, but sometimes that’s the reality.

Man, i have never heard the term summer sausage before.. I used to leave the casing on Chorizo when cooking it though.

Yes, tipping a barber or hairdresser is pretty standard practice.

I'd imagine that "chip" is pretty close to just emptying a can of pepper spray into your mouth.

Im glad i threw up then. I literally would've ended up like your brother.

Which one did you try?

My brother, who regularly douses his foods in peppers, hot sauces, any spices he can find, etc., also did this challenge. He was in a ball on the bathroom floor, naked, sweating, shivering, and wrapped in a blanket for 2 hours.

He's able to drink hot sauce like it's fruit punch.

These chips are lethal.

The chip was like eating mint chocolate chip ice cream for me compared to the Death Nut Challenge.

I had the different one.

My tongue started to burn so much, to the point i felt like it was going to fall off lol.

That's what I want to know too

Eating that chip was on my bucket list. But Im glad that it's over.

I tried that one:

Oh shit i didn't see that it had 16 000 000SHU

They've done about 6 different variations, each one hotter than the last. I challenged my teen nephew and niece on the 3rd one cuz they both have an affinity for hot Cheetos. It was pretty intense, and they both suffered a bit for it, but it was fun to film.

Me and some friends at work decided to try the last chip a few months ago. All of us can handle some spiciness, but DAMN! this chip was on another level. Had some stomach cramps for the next 24 hrs, although I was lucky to be spared and serious bathroom issues. I attribute that to the classic Mexican breakfast of refried beans with some eggs that I believe coated my stomach well before being pummeled with Satan's fire.

The only thing that kinda creeped me out is, the next morning, when I had my regulatory morning urination, I could feel an extra tingly warmth in my urine stream. But it was only the one time. All systems went back to normal functions shortly afterwards.

Did you do the version that turned your tongue blue? That's the one I had. I'd do it again because I'm a sadist.

Did we all not learn basic hygiene practices growing up? I've been camped out in the woods without a shower for wks and i managed better. Well u learned a lesson right? I guess it boils down to u and the lady adulting just a lil bit more. 1st step in your new itch free asshole life is to buy a frickin laundry hamper.

On a side note. Your ladies vagina throws-up in these new underwear. After which she removes and neatly sets them on package where they came from? That's f'n weird man. Somethings fishy around here.

You THOUGHT you like spicy things because you never ate something really spicy.

Mmmm....retail?

Coming from the perspective of a woman, take some space from her, she’ll likely need space after this. Either way, the dynamic has changed. Her new boyfriend probably didn’t already like that you guys stayed friends, and now that you’ve confessed you still love her it’ll put tension on that relationship.

He will probably want her to cut all ties, she might not want to as she still cares about you — you guys remained friends. However, he will counter her argument against it by arguing she still has feelings for you.

Additionally, it might be worth it to reconsider your friendship with the friends who pushed you to text her. You’ve probably told them she’s in a new relationship, and knowing that, they still pushed you to text her while in an inebriated state. Friends don’t do that.

Also, we really don’t know without the context of what the calls and texts contained.

Damn, launched a nuke at the wrong target.
