    I don’t think it’s about making people sick but rather so spicy the cracker body can’t handle it because of their typically bland diets.

      Yeah, I didn’t start liking spicy food until I was a teenager/adult and when I started eating it regularly there was a bit of a reckoning until my body adapted.

      That said I think it’s a combination of spicy and lots of beans. If you don’t get enough fiber in your daily diet your meal every few weeks that includes an appropriate amount will cause some gastrointestinal discomfort.
