Eating Chili

Aim:

I want to find out how long it takes to reduce the spiciness 

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

• Hot sauce 
• Toothpick 
• Stopwatch
• Water
• Milk

Instructions:

1. Get you equipment 
2. Dip the toothpick in the hot sauce
3. Suck the hot sauce off the toothpick 
4. Start timing as soon as you eat it
5. Stop the time when your mouth stops burning 

Result:

	Straight chili	Water	Coke	Milk
Time taken to stop the burning	5:30	6:00	2:00	2:50

Conclusion:

I can conclude that for me coke was the best for stoping the burn. The water was the least helpful.

Discussion:

Why does the chilly burn your mouth and why does milk stop it?

-Because of the capsaicin tricking your brain that you’re on fire

-Because of the oil and the fat
