Rec. #797: The Hot Sauce Debacle



What: Allie Brosh uses the medium of her comic memoir Hyperbole and a Half to reveal a long-held secret to her family and loved ones --- she does not now have, and in fact has never had, a special affinity for hot sauce.

What began as a welcome opportunity for attention and praise soon spiraled past a party trick and became her most recognized (if inaccurate) childhood characteristic.

Representative quote: "Things escalated quickly, and before the end of the day, my dad had inadvertently volunteered his eight-year-old to face off against a forty-five-year-old man in a hot-sauce-eating challenge."

How to get it: "The Hot Sauce Debacle" is one of the stories you'll only find in the book of Hyperbole and a Half and not in the original web comic blog (Rec. #7).
