Popcorns of Fire

The first time Karen and I went to Tapioca Express in Edmunds, we ordered a popcorn chicken at two-stars of spiciness.  Immediately after consuming a few pieces, beads of chili swet glided down the sideburns.  Last night, we returned to the store and witnessed Andrew making an order for four stars Popcorn Chicken!  Immediately everyone started cracking up, thinking Andrew will feel the anesthetic numbness from the extra spice.  Unfortunately the event never materialized.  Apparently they’ve normalized the spiciness chart, and four stars now taste like two stars!  They’ve wimped out!  Now I’ll never be able to experience the original five-star spicy Popcorn Chicken!  🙁
