After he took the first bite and tasted how spicy it was, instead of spitting it out he thought to himself "its amazing how they got this food to taste spicy without it actually being spicy" and continued to eat all three tacos

    There's legit some hot sauces that are a slow burn. Takes a minute to get to full force...by which time it is FAR too late to spit it out.... guy's still a numpty. Just pointing out I've gotten myself in too deep. Only difference is I said "Yeah, probably should have asked what everything was." Not "Imma sue a motherfucker!"

    I always feel like it's been three or so bites before you realize that you've made a mistake.

    Honestly, I want the taco salsa that makes Germans litigious. The restaurant should sell shirts or something.

    Definitely. By the time I realised that a tactical error was made I've usually smashed the first taco, and am part way through the second.

    I would absolutely smother several tacos in lawsuit sauce, and if that shop isn't capitalising this....idfk if they deserve to run a shop anymore.
