I am a european in my 40s and have never, ever, encountered a shit like described here.
Every time i read about it i wander if it’s because i am just not exposed to the specific food causing it, or if americans just eat so much unhealthy stuff that their digestive system is just fucked up for good. And to this day i don’t know the answer.
I’m American and have never had an issue eating Mexican food and I eat it like three times per week. It’s just a bullshit, hack joke rooted in racism that somehow still proliferates.
Yeah, the only time it makes sense is when you go to Mexico and get Montezuma’s revenge because I guess my American digestive tract is weak af. My brother lived in Mexico City for a few years. First time I thought it was a bad hangover. Second time thought I ate something funny. Third time I accepted it. And that was it, so apparently you just gotta accept it.
Right, just different amoebas and whatnot, if I can put on my science hat. I either eventually got used to it or successfully avoided the water, but we will unfortunately never know for sure.
I am an American in my 40s and I’ve never encountered it either. I eat a lot of Mexican food and a lot of spicy food from different cultures as well, so maybe I’m just acclimated? I feel like for some of these people the spiciest food they ever eat is taco bell and it just destroys them.
I think specifically the oligosaccharides in beans that, if your digestive system has not been accustomed to, will be unpleasant if you all of a sudden ingest a lot of. Also poorly prepared beans that have not been sufficiently soaked, etc. to draw these out.
I live in the US, I don’t understand this either. I’ve never experienced these purported issues. I’m guessing either I have a stronger than usual stomach or it’s just played up for the memes?
Oh, so you are saying you know how to shit better & therefore you think you are better than the rest of Murikans, do you?!
You have no idea how it is to spend 3 hours evey day continuously powerblasting the toilet & then still muster the strength to again visit the same dirty fast food joint responsible for the jet propulsion formula that can kill you at any moment by spontaneously launching you into orbit!!!
I’m a Canadian in my 40s and a regular once-a-day shitter. I have not experienced a shit so violent that I have destroyed a toilet. However, I have enjoyed Thai food so spicy that my asshole burned.
Yeah, i get that. It’s just that we, on the other side of the pond, also sometimes eat rely spicy food without being exposed to it on a regular basis. And still, have yet to hear or read about this from single non american.

Usually that’s caused by different water when traveling. Often not even bad water, just different.

Ah true, good point. Maybe that’s where it comes from.
There’s Mexican food and “mexican” food. Taco bell should be illegal it’s a gastrointestinal crime.

Same. I don’t eat a ton of spicy food but when I do everything’s normal afterward.
I didn’t think it was real, I thought it was just a joke. But then again trump is president so I guess people are eating as smart as they vote
95% of Americans don’t get their recommended daily amount of fiber. So when they finally do have beans, it’s an experience.

I saw it referenced for example in South Park, and I don’t think South Park would lie about American lore like that.
Maybe you are mistaken, or perhaps just lack a good reference point & don’t know how the rest of the world shits.
(/s)
that South Park episode was clowning on a chipotle ecoli incident I’m p sure
Poor Cartman, I can still hear his screams …
Hey, I am a dirty immigrant after all, you might be right 😝

Whoever downvoted this masterpiece of Shakespearean level prose is an absolute monster.
I salute you sir. Godspeed 🫡
Lol, ikr? Do folk think/is it possible ppl read that & thought it 0% sarcastic?
(I’m ofc not even from USA. However I do poop.)
But ty for your kind words, I do try my to be the best shitpearian poster my brainhole can manage.
It probably boils down to people not getting enough fiber and beans end up acting like colon blow.
I have this rule that Americans are always wrong. Works out well 80% of the time I’d say. Good enough to live by it
As an american, I think you’re right…

Spicy food, is my understanding of this.
Pakistani, Indian, Tamil food fucks me up real good. Every time. So delicious though.
It’s really because of the beans. Most Americans don’t eat much fiber, so when they suddenly do…
