Not spice but caffeine. Stopped at a reservation gas station on a road trip to grab water and fuel. I walk in and the lady at the counter says that the sodas are on the far wall, I ask why she thinks I want soda and she says it’s cause I’m white but definitely not any type of Mormon since I don’t hold myself like them. Anyways I grab my water and fuel after that rather amusing interaction, then I go to my car and make another thing of gamersupps. She was simply wrong about my source of caffeine.
I’d never heard of gamersupps before either and that has got to be the cringiest weeb shit I’ve even seen.
How long do you think it will take for my sample pack to arrive?
Depends where you are, I’m in California so if it ships out Friday or Saturday it gets here round Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. It ships out from Hebron Kentucky so do the rough math I guess.
I’ve never heard of gamersupps before and omfg they have anime girl thigh flavour???
It’s mostly generic flavors, pretty sure that one is cream flavored. Gotta read the description.
Did not know gamersupps was a thing. Essentially pre-workout mix for gamers? Nice.
I don’t like that they don’t list the exact amount of caffeine on the label though. Just that it’s a proprietary blend. I think at least caffeine should be broken out into its own line item. But 154,000mcg for the blend, so not more than 150mg caffeine per scoop. On par with a normal Monster
Edit: found it on the cans, 125mg. Still not seeing it on the nutrition label for the tub of powder, probably similar. I’m laughing at it but may buy some for days I skip the gym but still want my morning caffeine, coffee fucks my stomach
Yeah I started drinking it to cut sugar and more specifically soda from my diet. Went from 220s to 170s since about February, if I actually tried I could probably get down to 150. But yeah it’s pretty decent.
I’d say it’s racist if they try to “protect” you from spicier sauces. Like if you ask for medium and they try to give you mild.
What if they give me exactly the sauce I request with a smile and say, “have a nice day, you white piece of shit?” Same question, but they gave me a hotter sauce? That one almost feels like a compliment.
That podcast is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. They are not only race reductionists but they basically boil everything down to individual attitudes and beliefs.
One of the most egregious ones was when they told people not to practice speaking people’s native languages with them and to hire a tutor! Dumbest fucking people, they are equally as smart as MAGA.
The language tutoring lobby got to them…
It’s taco bell, it’s all mild sauce
Their Diablo sauce is pretty good but still not that spicy
Salt is often a bit too spicy for me
This is why we need better language describing spices in English. We have salty spices and spicy hot spices. Even if spicy hot spices there are three very different and distinct chemicals that make spicy hot spices.
That’s not even to begin to tackle the question of how to talk about the levels of the spice.
I use caliente, picante, and aromatic to describe the meanings of the English spicy. Salty is just salty, or maybe seasoned if I’m feeling fancy.
Wait what are the salty spices other than salt?
Think like an everything bagel. A lot of the stuff one foods like that may be considered spicy but not hot. Like if you just dumped Anton of seasoning on something you might say “it’s too spicy” but not mean hot.
Doesn’t feel mild coming out the other end.
That probably has nothing to do with the sauce
Sounds like you might have gastrointestinal issues. Taco Bell hot sauce isn’t potent enough to give you the shits.
Could also be previously undiagnosed lactose intolerance, especially if you usually order it “supreme” (which adds sour cream).
If you drink enough most things will give you the shits. All that matters is I won the bet and didn’t have to pay for lunch.
Ordered TBell over the weekend, and the order came with Diablo. Don’t usually order sauce because I have my own. Decided to give it a try.
It was like barely more spicy than hot Tobasco or Chalula. I was honestly disappointed
but there’s an onion in there sometimes!
Is taco bell mild sauce just a packet of air?
Medium sauce is water with pepper sprinkled in.
Everybody watch out, we got a badass over here.
I just believe words have meaning
If Taco Bell has sauces that are Hot, Fire, and Diablo then what are other actual hot sauces called?
It’s hyperbole, like someone saying their chicken wings were AMAZING.
If by some miracle Jesus came down from heaven and made sweet love to you all night what would you call it? They’ve already wasted AMAZING on a damn chicken wing.
credit to Louis CK for the Jesus bit
I’d call it what it is: rape.
Supreme Court already said Jesus also has presidential immunity
I’d call that shit biblical, messianic. Miraculous, even.
I probably wouldn’t enjoy it though because I don’t like men that way.
I have faith that Jesus would become a woman for me.
Unfortunately in religion, PR comes before everything. Or before most things. And Jesus’s clients know him as a man, so I don’t think he’s gonna budge on that
If Taco Bell has sauces that are Hot, Fire, and Diablo then what are other actual hot sauces called?
Hot sauce has a long history of hyperbole with marketing. I get that a lot of folks have a preference for high spice (I am one) and the pinch of cayenne that goes into a fancy fruit pie or taco bell sauce packet is going to be barely detectable, but I cook a lot for other folks and if someone says they don’t like any spice then diablo will ruin their night.
I think those names are pretty appropriate on the scale of Mild to Ass Reaper.
They’re not wrong, though. Even their Diablo sauce is only rated to around ~15,000 SHU (though some will argue that Fire sauce is hotter and thus Diablo is actually less than 1000, myself included).
Even if the rating is accurate, that means at the very most Taco Bell sauce is barely hotter than a jalapeño, which any hot sauce enthusiast will confirm is on the lower end of the Scoville scale.
The point I’m making is that they’re not bragging, they’re stating simple facts.
I’m a white man, I enjoy very spicy food. My partner is a southeastern Asian woman, who enjoys a bit less spicy food. I find it easier if we just order for each other and swap plates when the food comes. Because the servers assume that I can’t handle spice, and my partner can. Which is incorrect. Also, my partner isn’t very happy about it.
I once went to a Chinese restaurant and when food arrived they also gave me a fork, when I looked around all the Asian customers were given chopsticks.
Just ask for chop sticks, I do all the time. They are just playing the odds.
My wife asks for forks and knives all the time at Chinese restaurants. It’s more efficient for her.
I was on a date with an Asian woman years ago, and she decided to order Chicken Fried Rice. I don’t remember what I ordered, but it was something less stereotypically “white”.
They gave me the fried rice, and a fork. We just laughed, traded dishes, and asked for another pair of chopsticks.
My first partner was adopted from China as a baby, so she looked Chinese but culturally she was 100% Canadian, raised in a very meat & potatoes kind of family.
My mom is a bit of a hippy, so she loved cooking stuff from all different cuisines and we’d regularly use chopsticks at home if eating Asian foods.
We went to a Chinese place together once and the staff were howling with laughter at the white kid using chopsticks opposite the Asian woman with a knife and fork. She learned how to use chopsticks shortly after, haha.
did you go to Dim Sum Paradise?
It always made my smile that on every coffee shop they assumed my girlfriend was drinking latte and I read drinking black Turkish coffee, when it was the other way around.
It was a bit embarrassing at the beginning, but then I remembered I was a college student and she was in the army, so any attempt of being the strong one in the relationship was already out the window
NGL, getting profiled as a tender tongue is pretty fucking annoying. The only thing worse than no spice is mild spice.
Truth. The one time i went with pickup instead of delivery for indian food, i swear my food from then on was suddenly more mild. I really like the heat :/
tender tongue
Incredible phase
The tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.
My go-to has been to tell the waiter, “If you make it so spicy I can’t eat it, I’ll double your tip.” It’s a dangerous game, but it often pays off.
Back when subway was popular, I would jokingly tell the workers to try and kill me with jalapenos. One time they took it seriously and II had an inch thick layer across the whole sandwich. I was tickled pink, though pickled jalapenos kind of stink, and my coworkers about died.
And joking about it rubs a very small pinch of salt on the wound…
Yep.
Mmm. Spice.
I just say “come on man, look at me, of course it’s gonna be mild.”

There’s a podcast called @yoisthisracist and a white guy called in to ask if it was racist that a taco bell employee assumed that he wanted mild sauce and I’ve never stopped laughing
Have those sauces even really been spicy?
Diablo has some kick, it’s not pleasurable to put multiple packets per item for me.
When diablo sauce first hit, it was reasonably hot. It burned for a good couple of minutes. They’ve reduced it a bit now, but it’s still hot enough to scratch the itch for spicy, just not enough to trigger everyone’s endorphins.
I am so white I reflect the sun at people… I had to beg the server to give me the actual hot. The server made a point to apologize when I asked if there was a way to make it hotter… spice is life!
Same. Red haired very white gal - you almost can’t make it spicy enough, but it’s hell to get anyone to believe that!
I’ve been in the service industry my entire life… so I’ve seen plenty of folk claim black pepper is too spicy. I just hate that I give the appearance of that lol. I wish we could get a badge or something that says “yes I’m aware of what spice level you are talking about”
Oooh… I love this idea! Like I could pull out my Scoville card! I know that doesn’t work across cuisines, but you get the idea. Brilliant.
“Please hurt me” card would be great. Had a Thai place that knew me and they had fun.
A guy I work with once went with his two black friends to their local chip shop, owned by a big Jamaican guy.
He was the only white person in there, and when he placed his order, the owner went “Dja want gravy wit dat? White people always want graavyy”.
He did want gravy.
In fairness, gravy is the tits
White. Brown. It’s all good. Can’t go wrong. Same goes for gravy.
“I knew when you walked in you were gonna order the chicken”
“All these years I thought I liked chicken 'cause it was delicious! Turns out I was genetically predisposed to liking chicken.”
My wife is white and every time she gets forks and spoons at a Asian restaurant, she’s absolutely delighted. She can use chopsticks, just not well.
“How dare you! But yes.”
I’m white and I want gravy
Hell yeah, I want gravy.
Racial profiling in food is just an attempt to deliver the customer what they want. It would be the most benign form.
I’m oldish and pasty white, I have a hell of a time getting Mexican places to make it proper hot.
That said, I do love me potatoes and gravy…
Ah yes, racism against whites 🙃
I found the comment I knew would be here, with the text I knew would be in it, at the up/down ratio I expected it to be at.
I think we’re done here, folks. Pack it up! *pats people’s backs* Great job, everyone.
Idk if there is any way to interpret this without you coming across terribly.
GJ!
Claiming that racism against whites is a thing
- Is nonsense bc there is no systemic prejudice
- It belittles the struggle of the people who actually suffers from racism
Is it really that controversial of a position ? Am I missing something important ?
am I missing something important
Racism doesn’t have to be systemic.
More to the point though it’s your pearl clutching in either direction with that statement. As if it isn’t possible OR laughing at the possibility.
pearl clutching in either direction
I’m mildly confused on what this means exactly in that situation, but I guess it was not appropriate to say something like I did out of nowhere. Sorry for the bad mood.
To be very clear, no racism is acceptable, systemic or not. I just feel that putting attention on racism against whites serves the right-wing theories of the replacement and such BS, and that’s unacceptable.
cw: white person’s take on racism and race relations
you’re right that complaints about anti-white racism are usually just racists making noise, and also that systemic racism against whites doesn’t really exist because the social power dynamic in place favors white people. a white person still however might experience interpersonal racism, and while this too needs to be examined and understood in the context of the prevailing white-preferential power dynamic, it isn’t not racism just because it’s not institutional.
i want to be explicit and clear that i am not attempting to equate the odd moment of relatively tame discrimination experienced here and there by the average white person to the adversity experienced by non-white people every fucking day of their lives without cessation.
rather i’m just very dissatisfied with the notion that aggression against someone based on their racial characteristics somehow ever isn’t racism. worse, the implication that there must be a systemic element present for something to be “racism” leads to the conclusion that a black man who virulently hates latinos cannot be a racist, because black people do not have institutional power over latinos - which is very obviously nonsense.
as near as i can tell this idea derives from the old slogan “racism equals prejudice plus power” which is fine as shorthand for the idea that institutional racism, like, fucking exists, but lately seems to have been reduced to a kind of thought-terminating cliche that gets hauled out and spat in peoples faces as a “fuck you anyway” in lieu of seizing on a teachable moment.
which of these would you respond better to? “abuse against you doesn’t count because of your inherent unchangeable physical characteristics”, or “yeah that really sucks that that happened to you, feels shitty doesn’t it? now imagine that’s your entire life everywhere you go.” one is just going to make a person harden up and double down. the other might actually get someone thinking about shit, and that’s how we win, by invoking empathy in hearts and minds instead of making everything into adversarial bullshit when it doesn’t need to be.
it’s inaccurate, adds to the noise, sows division, and does less than nothing to change anyone’s mind.
that said op meme is hilarious and dude needs to chill tf out. also that podcast is really good.
Genuinely teaching ! Thank you for putting in the effort of writing such a detailed reply !

Yep that’s fair, I can only agree with that. You second paragraph captures what I wanted to express, but it was inappropriate from me to just throw that as a sarcastic comment under a funny post.
In the US ‘racism against whites’ is acknowledging common trends. Racism against everyone else is stereotypes based on misinformed racist caricatures. I don’t mean that sarcastically, that is literally how it works in the US.
Source: am white.
TIL, thanks !
It’s always surprising to find out how differently this problem is perceived / acknowledged / dealt with in US vs. in Europe or elsewhere.
The person you are responding to has a pretty awful take.
Racism against white people isn’t just “acknowledging stereotypes”
Racism is racism regardless of how it happens. Systemic racism is a separate issue entirely.
I am white but my name is not. I also don’t do hotter than fresh jalapeños, but enjoy a tamed heat on the plate (like the BWW spicy garlic sauce). It’s always a gamble ordering food. Usually it’s either too mild or too hot. With too mild I can just put hot sauce on my own, at least.
