My mom can make a spicy salsa that feels like a bio weapon when she's cooking it. The air around makes me cough and cry. It tastes good though.
I have come to a point in my life where if it's not spicy enough to make me cry, I don't want it

I don't know about the "thrill" or the "immediate sensation is unpleasant" part. It's really simple for me, it just tastes good. It has a very similar effect on my food to salt or seasoning or sugar, it adds an element that makes it taste more appetizing.
