I applied similar calculations to a jalepeno pepper I ate today. I took
it out of the refrigerator in which it had stabilized at around 35
degrees. Popped it in my mouth and munched away. The pepper made my
mouth hot and it burned pretty good.

It isn't possible to do that. Given that the pepper was at 35 degrees,
it in fact should have lowered the temperature in my mouth temporarily
until blood flow could compensate.

Further inspection showed that there were no apparent blisters or
unusual redness in my mouth after eating the pepper, so the only
conclusion I can make is that the sensation I felt, I did not feel.
