Never again will I eat a 1/2 pound box of the hot tamale candies over the course of two days! Last Friday Lexie, Jenny, and I rented the movie "Saved". (Lexie and I had already seen it but we really liked it so we were up for seeing it again) While at Blockbuster I decided I wanted some candy and got some Hot Tamales b/c I hadn't had them in years and they were calling my name.... "Christina! EAT US! Lets have a Fiesta!" So anway we are watching Saved and I'm chowing down on my hot tamales and some pizza with lots of spices. IF only I knew what those Hot Tamales had planned for me.....
So now it's Saturday and I had to work that night, so I just sat on my ass all afternoon eating the rest of my hot tamales. I can eat about 10 at a time before I have to take a lil break, but I'm a trooper so I kept eating. By now the box is about 2/3 of the way gone......about 9 or so got spilled at Jenny's but I've eaten every other one. The rest of my Saturday went like this.... Go to work. Come home. Eat hot tamales. Go to bed.
Sunday-- Get up for work. Work. About 6 hours into my shift my mouth is starting to feel really weird......it hurts and is F-ing w/my ear, nose and throat! "I'm like what the biff is going on here!?" I think about it for a few and then realize it's the damn tamales. I should have realized this would happen... I can only chew a piece of cinnamon gum for like 5.8 seconds before it starts to irrate my mouth. Anyway, I get home and my sister and I decided to go get some mexican food! I say Bring on the spiceyness! I can handle it....Turns out I couldn't! I messed up my mouth real bad!
Monday...It's a good thing all I had to do that day was read b/c it hurt to talk. The hot Tamales had F-ed w/my mouth big time! Sorry for all the complaining I did that day...
Anyway, here I am a week later and my mouth is still recovering. It's basically better but I've definitely learned my lesson. It's not wise to eat a 1/2 pound box of hot tamales (six servings according to the box which Alexa read) in the course of 24 hours. It's also not a good idea to go pig out on chips and salsa when you have a mouth that's already irrated from hot things. I think I remember now why I hadn't had hot tamales in years... It's time for another 3-5 year break.

It's a lesson we all must learn. It just happened your lesson was learned with hot tamales. I remember the lesson I learned from eating chocolate covered espresso beans. And I wondered why I was having a hard time sleeping!
haha yea I remember when you did that!
So you have moved on from Hot Tamales to sour-patch kids?
