I went for Thai food last night and the menu said, "We can make anything spicy, levels 0-9!" So I asked the waitress for a good amount of heat and she had me taste a hot sauce. It was very spicy (and I LOVE spicy food). She said that the level of the hot sauce was equivalent to a "2" on their scale. So, being bold, I said, "I'll have my dish at a level 3."
...it was so painful. I was so hungry, but I couldn't finish because my taste buds and stomach were very mad at me. I don't feel much better today. Next time, I'll for a 2. HOW THE HELL DOES ANYONE EAT A 9?!
