Reminds me specifically of a time that a coworker gave me a gallon jar of veggies he had canned at home - loaded with habanero superheat. I went in to work one day during Christmas break and decided to open that jar and start snacking. It was a comfortable rhythm - work, nibble, wipe my sweaty brow. I noticed before leaving that I had consumed a prodigious amount, but figured I was entitled to some holiday gluttony.

The next morning, my daily constitutional arrived with a high degree of urgency - a foreshadowing of agony to follow. It put me in mind of molten lava flowing through a fire hose, replete with tears and cries of anguish. Glad that I didn't have to work that day, I regretted having eaten so much while enduring several repeat performances that day.

A slow learner, I have repreated that mistake a few times since, but it has never been that bad. I still 💘 the hot stuff!
