For me, it was running to the bicycle and doing countless laps around the house with my tongue stuck out. It helped. I don't think there's any better remedy.
I've heard that eating bread helps... It's never worked with me though.
I say; Let it burn!! ^^

Milk, cold water or ice-cream.
Cold glass of milk and a piece of dry bread is best. Yogurt works well too.

Milk or anything with milk in it. I remember Bill Nye telling me it does the best job of removing the spicy particles from your taste buds (or something like that).
Why would you want to remedy that? It's why spicy food is so good. If you don't want your food to be spicy, don't eat spicy food.
Hey look, Japan made a movie about me!
I gulp down some milk or soda. That or I eat some bread.
But normally, nothing helps much. xD
I guess that is just me. I love spicy food. ~:3 Hehe.

My advice would be to take a glass of ice cold coke.That will solve it. :]
If you haven't gotten to the point that you're mouth is so saturated with capsaicin that you have to stop eating and cry in a corner somewhere, you aren't doing it right. A pepperhead is the guy who comes back and does it again.
Anyway, ignore everyone else:
Capsaicin is the active ingredient of peppers. It's an oil, so it is not water soluble. Water won't do much.
Milk is often suggested by people, but in my experience it's pretty weak at providing relief. Soda seems to work alright, albeit weakly. I personally suggest a shot of lemon juice, as Capsiacin is soluble in acids. I've heard alcohol works too, but I've never bothered to try.
Also: Bread does nothing, except for maybe settle your stomach.
Ehhh, I dunno if I'll stick around. We'll see.

Milk does work, but you don't swallow it, you swirl it in your mouth then spit it out.
And I think I'll try the lemon juice idea next time.
I never play to win. But I do play not to lose.
Nah, I'm just naturally good at disassociating ungodly amounts of pain. I can go from feeling pain to being aware of the pain on a more abstract level.
From a chemical standpoint, milk makes sense because it has molecules that both bind to fat and water. They can make normally hydrophobic capsaicin bind to water allowing the milk to flush them away.

Milk actually does work, even if you ate garlic, drinking milk helps to reduce the bad breath.
I usually don't eat or drink remedies after spoicy food, because I'm used to extremely spicy food that I can't even taste spices anymore, as I add more spicy into it, it's all building up.
There's no saturation point to it. Eating spicy won't keep you from tasting anymore, but extensively eating it may:
dazzle your vision; impede your hearing; affect your reasoning; put you in touch with God; and in some territories, can get you legally arrested.
When mucus from my nose starts dropping on the plate, I usually stop, for posterity's sake.
Ice Cold may negate the burning, but won't make it any less painful, same goes for fire scorches. I'm not a milky-sissy kind of guy, so I'll just go with Lemon Juice.Originally Posted by Manhattan_Project_2000
But what i would really like to hear is: upon eating excessive spicy food, what could one use to ease the production of the resulting bricks?

I usually drink soy milk after a good meal (Bamboo soup with maybe a dozen Thai peppers in it), dunno about it helping though. I just like soymilk. Carbonated drinks never seem to help me...

Milk works best in my experience. Generally whole milk will be better than 2%, and 2% will be better than 1%.
If you're going to go with soda, dark sodas such as Pepsi or coke work better. In me experience, lighter sodas (orange, lemon-lime, citrus, etc) tend to make things worse.
And as stated above, water will do almost nothing.

Ya I think Milk or Orange juice helps for me but I HATE spicy foods so I don't have spicy food that often ^^.
Best remedy is not eating them in the first place. It's what I do.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
Uh.. I just drink soda or water : )
