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.

๐Ÿคฃ They aren't fussy are they.

Titlegross story and drug usespoilerI 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
