    exactly the spicey diarrhea jokes, as well as direct comparisons to vomit. American Dad and Family Guy writers spring to mind.

      That’s the kind of jokes those shows make; cheap shots and poop jokes.

      The spice jokes happen in any nation that culturally lacks a pepper based heat as a common seasoning, towards any food with said spice. Southern states, who share food inspiration with mexico, do not have these jokes. They eat the hottest nonsense sauces, theyre used to the effect.

          Right, but specifically that joke cannot be made successfully in regions where pepper based spice is common cuisine. Because those people dont have that reaction.

          And a large portion of the US makes that spice a common part of normal meals, thanks to proximity to mexico, or international ports.

          Basically, this is only funny to people in very isolated communities and the central northern states. Both coasts and the south have plenty of spicy influence.

        When you say southern states, do you mean southwestern? Because I’ve lived in the southeast, and the food is not spicy.
