heat Flavor vs. Heat in Sauces

Just curious where everyone stands on this... I had this debate with some good friends last night that came over dinner, all of which love hot food and sauces in varying degrees. One guest preferred the scorch my taste buds so I can't taste anything approach (more the endorphin high, than taste-ability?) while most chose a more flavor but still hot and can still taste the food approach. I tend to go with still being able to taste what I am eating in the next bite.
 
Send her to shu! LOL that's Special Housing Unit (solitary) and Scovile Heat Unit. It all comes full circle.

Is that term inappropriate?  What is the proper term for "general population" of non-criminals?
No, but you may be looking for mass market or mainstream, depending on context.

"The mass market is the largest group of end consumers for a specified product. It is the opposite of the term niche market."

General population and the genpop slang (especially) usually refer to prison and not being in a special area, was just kinda funny is all, but it could work with your Evil branding. ;)
 
I like heat and use hot peppers/powders/sauces in pretty much everything I make.  That said heat can indeed take over a dish and then I'm no longer enjoying it.
 
Back in the day I was masochistic with my pepper intake.  These days my heat range only goes up to chocolate habs or bahamian goats though.
