We grew up eating spicy food. My Mom was cajun and we lived in a
Hispanic area. I like peppers, depending on my mood and what I am
eating. My sister will eat 3-4 jalapenos, and cry while she is doing
it. lol My children also like it hot, but the majority of people
don't. I was surprised by the results of their poll.

The hotter, the better 30.9% (1,209 votes)
Up to a point, sure 44.9% (1,758 votes)
I can take a little bit of heat 15.5% (608 votes)
Mild is fine 5.8% (227 votes)
Not even a little 2.9% (115 votes)
Total Votes: 3,917

I guess I am 15.5% some hotness is great but not too much.

There are very few chiliheads that actually don't have some
sort of limit, although that limit may shift around under
various circumstances.

An entire fistfull of habaneros in a pot of food is too much
for me.

I tend to believe my personal limit is at around 20% of the Scoville
value where the most extreme cases have their limit.

I know some 30.9 percenters, I think they are raving mad! Habanaros are
usually too hot for me.
