The Illusion of Spicy Food

Think spicy food is setting your tongue on fire? Think again. The sizzling sensation

isn't real! Meet capsaicin, the sneaky molecule in chili peppers that tricks your

pain receptors into shouting, "Fire!" Your tongue isn't burning,

it's just your nerves playing tricks. Every bite is pure phantom heat, with your brain

putting on its most dramatic performance ever. Embrace the fiery fun,

because it's all just a flavorful illusion!
