Hot Mouth Remedy


I'm all about spicy foods most of the time. I put hot sauce on almost everything. But what happens when you get in over your head. I know that if you enjoy spicy foods then you will know what I'm talking about. For everyone else, it's when you order something spicy at a certain restaurant and it is much hotter than you bargained for. Well anyways. The remedy I now propose to you: Cranberry juice. It has to be the 100% juice kind, no concentrate, no cranberry "cocktail." I believe that I have just discovered this, as google searches yielded no results on this subject. I was going to post it on the message board for the show "mythbusters" who recently did an episode with one of the things looking at cures for a fiery mouth, but I can't bring myself to sign up to a message board run by a TV network. But yes, preliminary tests have suggested that Cranberry Juice seems to end the burning sensation relatively quickly and with great fanfare. Give it a try and let me know your results.
