The real tragedy is countries with Mexican food not having Japanese toilets.
I never understood the claims about Mexican food causing explosive shits but I do understand why those with weak stomachs keep trying to eat it anyway.

I hear tell that the claims are from people with low fiber diets, who suddenly have to deal with fiberful foods.
(I heard it on the Internet, and so now I repeat it on the Internet and let others handle the fact checking!)
Yeah Mexican food doesn't give me shits (mexican ancestry might help) but having a Japanese bidet is nice.
Shit people can get one for less than $100 dollars. I've been trying to get my fellow Americans on the same page. I once had a coworker call a foreign coworker nasty cuz he used a portable bidet at work. People here are insane. I can hardly get myself to take a work poop because there are no bidets at work.
Sounds like you don't eat it spicy enough
I used to go to a fantastic Mexican place in Fukuoka in the 2000s whenever I went from Korea to Japan. The owner, who worked in a restaurant in Mexico City for years, had this wall of hot sauces and tequilas behind the bar. All the sauces were free to try and he’d give you a shot of tequila on the house too occasionally.
If you just ate vegetables and beans then Mexican food wouldn't do this to you.
They do however have Thai food... I'd argue that Thai food is worse than Mexican food when it comes to "hot shits" because the fiber comes from vegetables and hot sauce instead of beans and hot sauce. Meaning there's nothing dense to soften the blow that your asshole is about to experience. I also believe this is why all Thai people are so thin! The food literally goes right through them!
TIL taco rice doesn't count as Mexican...
Taco… rice?
found the person who doesn't use enough wasabi on their sushi to hate themself after
You made me suspect there's probably somebody out there who mixes a lot of wasabi into their natto.
Wasabi is very mild. Even milder than horseradish
i just eat it on its own. doesn't do much.
Better comparison for the second part would be: "What's the point of having a Ferrari if u don't live in germany" (cos we got no implicit speed limits on the Autobahn if one isn't explicitly mentioned)
BS they don't have Mexican food. They've imported a lot of Mexican culture if their media is anything to go by.
The best carnitas I ever had was at a place off Takeshita Street
More like... nvm
Fine... you can take the high road. I'll take the low.
More like "take a shita street".
(By the way, Takeshita means "under the bamboo" in Japanese.)
