Does spicy heat stack up, or is your tongue just tricking you? In this deep-dive episode, we explore one of the hottest debates among chiliheads and food scientists alike: does capsaicin in peppers and spicy products actually compound in heat, raising the Scoville level with each bite, or is it always capped at the hottest pepper you’ve eaten? We’ll break down the science of how capsaicin interacts with your pain receptors, whether eating multiple spicy foods averages the heat, and why some people swear the burn keeps building. Along the way, we’ll explore cultural eating traditions, pepper chemistry, tolerance building, and call back to earlier episodes on spice history, landrace peppers, and myths about hot sauce.Whether you’re a seasoned chilihead pushing your limits or someone curious about why that third wing feels hotter than the first, this episode uncovers the truth about compounding heat, endurance eating, and what your body is really experiencing when you chase the fire.Perfect for spicy food lovers, competitive eaters, science enthusiasts, and anyone looking to understand the hidden mechanics of the Scoville scale.New episodes every Tuesday and ThursdayAvailable on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Rumble & all major platformsMerch, community & more at TheSwearWord.net (New Site Coming Soon)----more----👀 Missed the episode?
