America needs a new spice labeling system because “spicy” here can mean anything from a little chili and lime powder or something with black pepper, to something utterly mouth dissolving like this hummus I ate
literally
i need like a "white people spicy" to "will actually hurt you" scale so i know what im getting into

There is no way this is possible with how diverse our food culture here is😭 you have everything from super spicy food made by immigrants to the blandest food imaginable made by your German-American grandma from Iowa.

Also the difference between “spiced” and “spicy” always messes me up. Like something will be seasoned with spices, but not hot spicy, and people won’t understand what I’m saying for some reason

My parents think the Arby’s curly fries are spicy.

I feel like scoville units are a pretty good gauge

Exactly! I love white people spicy. Im a white people. I don’t love having my mouth dissolved when I expected something more akin to Italian red flakes :c
