Bananas aren’t supposed to tingle?!

You could go YEARS thinking a fruit is spicy or tingly or whatever but it turns out: THAT'S JUST YOU (and other people who share that allergy). Let's solve this scientifically by allowing random people on the internet to vote on whether they experience a fruit as spicy tingly or not.
