euphoric feeling that chili connoisseurs enjoy.

I will never get it. I feel like that's brute-forcing the euphoria you can get with a really well-cooked, flavorful meal.

I have a bunch of friends who would dump Sriracha and other spicy sauces on everything for a quick fix of spicy. Like, fried eggs... Bruh. Salt and pepper, some tomatoes, a little bit of ham or bacon maybe, much better tasting and doesn't make your pits stain. Learn to make a meal.

Inb4 the spicy sauce crew down votes me. 😅🌶️🔥

    Those are two separate biochemical mechanisms. Dopamine from a delicious meal and endorphins from spiciness. Some people enjoy one more than the other and that's fine -- you and your friends may be opposites in that regard. Many other people like the experiences together.
