“Sissy Salsa” for the win!
Hereafter I will call piquant flavours “Scovillian” as in “That’s too Scovillian for me.” Or “That needs some Scovillianning.”
I love chili oils and pastes. My current favourite is Okazu Chili Miso. Mild.

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve argued that I like spice, only to have people assume I only eat bland food just because heat is not so fun for me.

I definitely can’t handle that level of spice, but I love habaneros which are pretty damn hot to many people.
With regard to the product in OP, it literally has the words “spicy” emblazoned across the packaging. Whatever happened to “buyer beware”?
