Hiccups seem to be a pretty common reaction to overly hot food. I see this pretty often when people challenge me at the festivals I work. There are always a few people that walk up and insult my efforts and brag that "nothing is too hot for me boy- why, I can eat a jalapeno". Makes my day, sort of. A little dose of Ralphs', Daves', or Blairs' and the hiccups start in. Come to think of it, they don't mention anything about endorphins when they stomp off :-) I don't experience any sort of rush from the stuff either. -Jim C MWPH
