my dad once made salsa using several habanero peppers and it was fucking inedibly spicy, habaneros do not fuck around.
don't even get me started on the gulf between "ghost pepper" branded shit and actual ghost peppers.
Fast food spicy chicken sandwiches are Fuck You Spicy. All spice no flavor, all sting no zing. Fuck your mouth in particular, it's exactly the same chicken sandwich with straight red pepper flakes, good luck with that.
... Which is to say, yeah, people forgot how to spice.
