the third time i did was with coco cola and i'm scoring it a 9/10 (but i thinks its because i did more)

Discussion: 

Why does chilli burn your mouth? 

it contains an alkaline, oil-based molecule called capsaicin, which sneakily triggers the temperature-sensitive pain receptors in your mouth/taste buds 

why does the milk reduce the burn? 

it helps your mouth handle capsaicin, Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. ... Since capsaicin is fat-soluble, rinsing with milk fat helps ease the burn
