If you don’t eat enough fiber-- which a lot of Americans do not do-- suddenly eating a lot of it will cause it to speed run through your system. Beans are high in fiber.
As far as burning shits, that’s just weakness to hot sauce.
Because joking about Mexican food causing the shits is a common practice, and so is trying to get cheap laughs in online forums.
Seeing as it’s so similar to “Montezuma’s Revenge” I’m betting that you’re right, and it’s all just racism.
No dude it’s about having the shits, not fucking racism.
My bad, I thought you were making an insightful observation. I’ll be sure not to assume that from you in the future.
Your personal fixation != insight.
No, that’s travelers’ diarrhea aka don’t drink the water.
Right. I think the “Mexican Food gives you the shits” probably started from people originally saying they got sick (drinking the water) in Mexico, and it stayed the rumor that Mexican food made in the US does the same.
Mexican food is more spicy. That’s all. The scandals mentioned in other comments are easily debunked.
It’s just spicy food
Spicy?
Taco Bell?
I mean their hottest sauce packets are not even Tabasco hot.
I’m not super spice tolerant and it’s WAY down on the hot scale.
It’s all relative
Naw, that’s Arkansas! ;)
I mean their hottest sauce packets are not even Tabasco hot.
Diablo sauce is pretty hot. Definitely hotter than Tobasco (and doesn’t taste like fucking gasoline like Tobasco does).
It’s low in fiber and greasy. When your body is conditioned to expect whole foods, stuff like that gets shot right back out.
Wait, another comment said it’s because it’s high in fibre. Seems like it’s a meme that nobody actually knows why, or even experiences it?
No idea why anyone would say that. A soft taco has like 2g of fiber. Here’s the menu. Feel free to click around and prove me wrong but nothing I saw on the best sellers list had more than like 5g and those are things meant to be shared
They use sub-standard ingredients in the least responsible way possible, and have been the subject of multiple food outbreaks and recalls going back to the 80’s, when I’m pretty sure they were called out for using lower grade (by USDA standards) meat.
Then at some point they got caught for using Horse Meat in their food, and I think that sort of clenches it.
