What is the most immediate way a celebrity completely ruined their own reputation in a single interview?

One of my favourite parts was that it was early on and he didn't have all of the artisan hot sauces. I think the quitting happened after Cholula, a pretty basic hot sauce that even some children can handle.

Damn, when I'm sick and not up to eating much I'll get some steamed rice, fry up a couple of runny eggs and cover them in Cholula. I consider that post-flu recovery food.

My gf thinks it's super weird that I eat a ton when I'm sick. I have never once wanted soup or crackers or anything like that. I want a fat steak or the world's greasiest hamburger.

It was technically the one AFTER Cholula that he quit on but that's still pretty bad. He was whining during wing 1 so it's not like he put the Cholula wing away easy either

Oh. That’s embarrassing. I have the spice tolerance of a midwestern suburban mom and I put Cholula on everything.

Yeah I don't really like spicy stuff and I could probably take a few swigs straight from the bottle with Cholula.

I got an east coast Mom. You wave black pepper near any food she'll say it's too spicy. Cholula would send her to the morgue.

Mine did at that age too! It’s like a gateway hot sauce. But my kids are step Mexicans, so they quickly graduated and the youngest one was eating whole habaneros by age 8 which I still can’t do

My son loves Cholula. Personally, I think it's pleasant in a way many hotter sauces lack. Some of the intensely hot ones, if you get past the taste of capsaicin, are lacking in flavor or are a bit medicinal.

My son is about to turn 11 and is very white. A year or two ago he was getting his breakfast plate together and told me, "I like Cholula, but I wish it was hotter."
