    Accidentally left a plate out with some leftover hawt sauce on it last night. Ants ate it. I had no idea ants like chilli. They were walking around slowly in circles looking a bit confused. So had to internets it: They do eat chilli but it makes them confused because it masks their scent trail lol.

        Titlegross story and drug usespoiler

        I remember many years ago a group of us were walking to the 7-11 after smoking an enthusiastic and excessive amount of bongs. One guy coughed up a large chunk of phlegm and spat it out. We were all like, “ew, Jesus dude!” On our way back from the 7-11 we noticed that the ants had got to it and were eating it.

      Depending on the type of sauce there could be a bunch of sugar in there as well

      Aw poor babies. I know they sometimes enter what’s known as a death spiral, where they follow each others scent until eventually they all die. Not sure if this would cause the same thing, or they’d eventually snap out of it
