 The fact that I'm not awake half the night eating TUMS like candy, for starters.

Rgr, I've got to stop consuming dairy before I give myself an ulcer. Thankfully, I found the perfect substitute. Guinness.

I'm OK with dairy if I take lactase to help digest it. I also had to give up alcohol because of a Barrett's esophagus diagnosis. Next it'll be dairy and chocolate, for that reason. Spicy food of any sort is now history.

I think I could work around those until you got to spicy. My daily salad for lunch is incomplete without some reaper, scorpion, apollo or pepper-x sauce of some kind for dressing.

I can see no reason to continue living if I am ever told to give up chocolate.

I used to eat kung pao Chinese food with the peppers ground and cooked in. Not sure I'd survive that, now, even with TUMS.

I'm going to buy some chocolate tomorrow; THAT I can conquer with TUMS. Haven't had chocolate in a few weeks.

Not sure I'd survive that, now, even with TUMS. My daughter just claims I have no taste buds left. I just claim they are more refined/tested by fire. I probably have between 100 and 150 bottles of chile sauces in my house at any given time, with a rotating 10 or so open and in active use rotation.
I was talking to the kiddo about this earlier today actually. The hottest thing I ever ate was a small drop of something called "Defcon" on a toothpick served to me by someone dressed like the Terminator at a chile festival a few years ago (and yes, it was such a wise move to trust this man with my face-hole). Seriously a 20-minute full-on endorphin-rush high that I had to walk off in the convention center.
That is distinct from the actual worst experience I had with chiles - the 4 Horseman Burger in San Antonio (as shown on Man vs. Food). The 4 are jalapeno (meh), serrano (meh), habanero sauce (getting my attention) and 4 whole sauteed ghost chiles (ooof). It's a very unpleasant experience. You are forced to sign a waiver, given gloves and a vomit bucket and 20 minutes to eat it. I made it halfway through, which was far more than the others around me trying it, The guy next to me ate two bites and went to the parking lot to vomit. A kid next to him had his family taping it, ate one bite and ran to the bathroom. Personally, I did not eat solid food for 2 days afterward. Thus endeth my food challenge career. The insulting part is that ghost chiles taste horrible - like roofing tar dipped in evil.
