Dumb OI question/discussion/TED Talk – how do transmigrators tolerate spicy food/coffee when the original body never tasted it?
I see a lot of OIs in which the MC (reincarnated) has a palate for spicy food or coffee (acquired tastes), and comes to the OI world and changes everyone's perception of those foods.
Now, this truly makes me wonder with those who "take over" a character. How do they "crave" coffee or immediately like spicy food? Isn't the body they take over also not used to spice or coffee and would actually make them sick or overwhelm them?
It is always treated as a fun quirk but it baffles me lmfao. My culture also eats a lot of spicy food and after going overseas some months, I came back without the same spice endurance, can't imagine a virgin tongue lmfao.
Or also those who have a "caffeine addiction"/coffee cravings, how can they have an addiction when the original body has tasted anything super caffeinated or with the absurd quantity of tea they supposedly consume???
I think it does count as a pet peeve of mine.
Thanks for reading my rant.
