Water sure helps my mouth cool down temporarily, stop saying there is no point
Capsaicin, the thing that makes peppers spicy, is an oily compound.
Water will never remove this from your tongue and the temporary relief is so short it is effectively worthless.
Drinking milk helps actually neutralize the best long term. Alcohol will also help.
Something sweet (acidic) will break it down too. I find fruit juice or a soft drink will work better for me than milk.
So what you’re saying is, the best solution to spicy is vodka
What if it’s spicy vodka?
Maybe make a white Russian?
A Belarusian, if you will
This seems like it would fit better in the unpopular opinions community.
Having said that, bread works a million times better than water if you eat something too spicy
White rice too.
Or milk.
Or milk/dairy.
