The whole discourse over chilli heat is so moribund. Just eat stuff you like the flavour of, or eat stuff that makes your pain receptors go off if that’s what you like - it’s all fine.

Yes but the problem is finding out stuff from label what it could taste like. I’ve had 5 out 5 chilli stuff that tasted relatively quite normal to me, problem was I was craving something spicy. So I would appreciate some kind of universal spice level. I don’t mind if I am on 3/10 or something. Just don’t want to see 5/5 chilli taste mild. Problems with rating like that would be people like this colleague of mine. He refuses to accept my spice tolerance is moderate like mine, he will go and buy stuff 5/5 chilli so he can feel he can eat spicy. And I suspect these 5/5 mild items are market towards people like him.
