Old El Paso was too spicy, apparently

    I refuse to believe the country where Bunsters is made had anything to do with it.

    Australia may have been horribly embarrassed by Raygun but this is a close second

  3. Some people think onions or garlic or black pepper is too spicy. I don’t understand it, maybe there’s something wrong with people who like spice 🤔

    In the UK. Never actually seen this product, I’m guessing it’s a niche thing.

    To be honest though, I’ve never noticed proper heat guides on Old El Paso, at least not ones that mean anything.

    They do a burrito kit, an enchilada kit, a nacho kit etc etc and each one specifies a heat, but there aren’t alternative heats available. You just add extra hot stuff until it’s the right heat, or that’s how I’ve always done it.

    Britain enslaved and colonized over half the world for sugars and spices and then proceeded to make the most bland food possible

    I live in Australia, and I can confirm the average person where I live can’t handle spice at all.

  7. Seriously? Mild is already so mild my family has a realistic chance to not notice there’s anything spicy in it

    Don’t people in the UK love to get that extra spicy vindaloo curry and what not?

  9. These wimp tongues ruin everything for everyone.

  10. I’m from the UK. Old El Paso isn’t considered hot at all here. The “mild” version from memory just tones down the chemical taste you normally associate with that particular brand.

    Remember we are a nation of folk who have been brought up on Vindaloo’s and other Indian food since we started on solids.
