    Manz maintained that he bought three tacos there and then availed himself of the offerings at the restaurant’s self-service salsa bar.

    “As I had no idea how dangerous these sauces could be or which ingredients are put in the sauces, I started putting a lot of these sauces inside my tacos,” Manz wrote in the filing.

    “There were absolutely no warnings at all,” he wrote in his complaint, which mentioned that he has history of gastrointestinal problems and generally avoids spicy foods.

    Is this a publicity stunt or something? A grift? Surely it’s not actually some dumbass who genuinely thought they could get $100k after voluntarily triggering a stomach ache.

    No matter whether it’s labeled or not, you don’t start ladling on the salsa until you’ve tasted it first. What a maroon.

    What kind of dipshit just starts loading random unmarked sauce onto his food at a mexican/indian/korean/thai restaurant? Especially if you don’t like the heat.

    I guess you’d develop the tolerance after doing that mistake once.

    Oh. I thought the lawsuit was gonna be because it wasn’t hot enough. Some of these places serve spaghetti sauce as salsa. Which is fine. Adapting to local preferences and stuff.
