Just hit 100 days of putting hot sauce on my morning oatmeal

Started as a joke after a dare from my roommate, but now I can't stop. The combo of spicy Cholula with plain oats and a bit of honey is weirdly perfect. It started tasting normal around day 30, and by day 70 I was adding extra jalapenos. Hit the triple digits this morning and my roommate just stared at me in horror. Anyone else have a weird food habit that just stuck?

Your body might be building up a tolerance to capsaicin, which is why you needed the jalapenos. It's the same reason people add more hot sauce over time. You've basically trained your mouth to handle more heat.

Maybe it's just the peppers getting milder.

I used to think putting hot sauce on oatmeal was just wrong, but my son got me to try a dash of Tabasco in my grits last year. Now I understand the appeal of that spicy and savory mix with something plain. It really grows on you.
