Spicy or Allergy

Spicy or Allergy helps people determine whether their mouth's reaction to raw fruit is a common experience or a sign of a food allergy. Users vote on whether specific fruits feel tingly, prickly, or normal to them, building a dataset across 59 fruits. The results reveal patterns: pineapple and kiwi top the list as "sometimes tingly" for about 40% of voters, while most fruits rarely trigger the sensation.

The site addresses a real problem—people can spend years thinking certain fruits are naturally spicy without realizing they might have an allergy. By collecting anonymous votes from random internet users, it creates a reference point to distinguish personal allergic reactions from universal fruit properties. The maker built it with Claude Code.
