Mythbusters had a segment on this and if it hasn’t been removed, you might still find it on YouTube. Milk worked the best of the things they tried if memory serves – water was about useless.
Milk and bread have always been a staple with South of the border food. Beer or water just rush the rush into your system’Radishes, on the other hand, have always been enjoyed in Germany before induldging in the worrld favorite beverage. Take a good big bite of the hottest radish known, and tipping a stein will quickly remove the heat. Repeat. Repeat, repeat. Radishes have no calories or sodium like certain American bar snacks. The jury is still (passed) out on beer.
Irwin certainly seems happy about that cereal. His is about the reaction I’d expect from a certain family I know. One makes not Nuclear Coffee like Doctor Toon, but Nuclear Chili.
the alcohol in beer helps dissolve the hot oils in peppers while milk coats the taste bud receptors preventing the oil from delivering its heat to the tongue.

I’ve heard that drinking milk right after eating too hot of a pepper gets rid of the burning better than water.

I have always eaten tomatoes to quench the fire of habeneros.

The cereal that keeps you from going back to bed — also keeps you from going back for a second bowl!

It’s also the cereal that makes your butt burn like you’ve dipped it molten lava after you’ve done no. 2…

I NEED that! Maybe if I just sprinkle a little Tabasco sauce on it, instead of sugar…

If you really want to stay awake, try telling yourself that it’s Friday; all day long you’ll be fueled by optimism.
