Milk is the best cure for spicy foods: Busted
Eating spicy foods can register as a fever: plausible
salsa eating through metal: Still testing
Check out Mythbusters.com
Aaron and I are taking the role as Mythbusters by testing different myths to see if they are busted, confirmed, or plausible. We started out our experiments with myths about salsa! We have heard that milk was the best cure for spicy foods. We would eat ghost pepper salsa then try different kinds of "cures" and record short term and long term effects. According to our data the best cures would be popsicles and ice cream. Our next experiment was testing how much spicy foods raised body temperature. I went up by about half of a degree but Aaron went up by about 1 degree so it could have registered as a low grade fever. We concluded that it effects different people different. We are now testing to see if the acid from salsa can erode metal. We heard about a myth that a man in Mexico escaped from prison by dumping salsa on his jail cell bars. Just after a week, a paper clip in salsa lost .005 grams and we are still testing it.

I know from experience that milk is not the best cure for spicy food. I learned that when I ate a fresh jalapeno and three milks did absolutely nothing.

I am curious as to why you chose this topic? Was it because you were hungry and wanted to have a snack?

This experiment has allowed you guys to collect a lot, but also give us a show in class.

Maybe we should also start doing a Man vs. Food experiment where we see if we can complete different food challenges.

And now you know some ways to actually try to cool off your mouth after eating some of that stuff! I'll just stick to jalapenos!
