Not just something, get a milkshake, drink 80% of it then add pepper to it, now you let him see it and ask for a sip, "no way it's spicy, it's a milkshake!", he drinks it, curses and will forever believe you when you say its spicy no matter what
Milk nullifies capsaicin though. You'll probably have to use something like ginger. Lots of ginger. It would probably be delicious too now that I think about it.
That's the real trick: legitimately enjoy stuff the kiddos will hate.
My nephew was so disappointed when he looked into my fridge. What, raw vegetables and water aren't good enough for you?
Hahaha yes, even adults complain about the lack of "snacks" when they visit. Like what do you call an apple or carrot. :P
