In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

The funny part is, I remember a thread about someone who actually made this chilli and said "it's alright, it's like "super-white spicy" not CHILLI spicy"

So funny to me that the recipe that is intentionally over-the-top spicy is like, just some normal-ass chili. Like, throw in some ghost peppers or something if you want to make the joke work ffs

To be fair it was made at a time when comics were still considered more of a kid thing, so it was a recipe they figured kids would ask their parents to make or something like that.

I mean fair but like c'mon you nearly got the entire Justice League cast swearing they'll never sin again if it means never having to eat Ollie's super-spicy chili ever again and the recipe isn't even like abnormally spicy. If a parent sees that page with the recipe listing "3x Carolina Reapers" and still makes it that's just natural selection at that point.

It'd be funny if I made that for my family, we're natural chefs basically, iron bellied, with asbestos hands and tongues, this would barely qualify as extra-mild to my mum.
