No, not milk. Something acidic like lemon juice. Capsaicin is Ph basic and acidic foods will help neutralize it. Ask me how I know….

Somebody sure chose good music for that and at a perfect volume, nice set also.

I was just reading that

Lemonade, limeade and even tomato juice will cut it

I’m sure not gonna find out the hard way.

My limit is Tabasco. I go through a bunch of Frank’s, but that’s pretty tame stuff

When the package says
1 pieces. It’s probably not a good product.

I long for the good old days when the kids just stuck to tide pods.

They need to have their mouths washed out with soap.

Same here! And the convenience store had cinnamon toothpicks that we would buy for five cents!

“Anyone found to have used the gum should be treated for extensive exposure to oleoresin capsicum.”

And if they do swallow any of it by tomorrow they will know what the old saying “S**t Fire!” means. Better not be in public. If it hits you will not have time to find a rest room!

Seems to be conflicting advice on this one. Capsaicin is fat soluble, so the fat in milk will help dissolve it. But the pH thing seems to be legit too. Maybe the best fix would be something that’s both fatty and acidic, like sour cream or full fat yogurt.
