Go To

Basic Trope: A character who has a high tolerance for spicy food.

  • Straight: Blaze can easily eat chili peppers, and they're his Trademark Favorite Food.
  • Exaggerated: Blaze eats Carolina reapers, ghost peppers, and other extremely spicy foods with every meal - he hardly finds them spicy at all.
  • Downplayed: Blaze has the highest spice tolerance of the cast, but given everyone else's very low spice tolerance, that's not saying a whole lot.
  • Justified:
  • Inverted:
    • Blaze can't tolerate food with even the smallest amount of spice.
    • Blaze's sister Icelynn can eat food that's extremely cold without getting brain freeze.
  • Subverted: Blaze is constantly shown eating what appear to be chili peppers... but he's actually eating bell peppers and pretending that they're spicy.
  • Double Subverted: But when he actually eats spicy food, he's able to tolerate it well.
  • Parodied: Blaze makes food that is constantly taken by other people, who get hurt from the extreme amounts of spice Blaze adds.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Blaze is never seen eating spicy food.
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: Blaze eats spicy food every day in order to build up his tolerance.
  • Exploited: Blaze uses his spice tolerance to win a hot pepper Eating Contest.
  • Defied: Jim manufactures a type of chili Blaze is unable to stomach, with excessive amounts of the more powerful spices known to man and a number of chemicals that boost the spiciness and probably should not be consumed by humans.
  • Discussed: "I can't believe he just ate an entire Carolina reaper and still doesn't think it's spicy enough!"
  • Conversed: ???
  • Played for Laughs: Blaze is often shown casually drinking hot sauce.

Back to Unaffected by Spice... hey, can I get some more ghost peppers with that?
