Yeah! You must be a low level taster. My guess is you love spicy foods. You must not have very many taste buds. Such "low level tasters" require a lot more stimulation in order to get any real flavor. Now, high level tasters on the other hand need very little, but at the price of not being able to handle very much. I have a lot of tightly packed tastebuds. I can taste minute details of foods you most likely can't, but as a consequence I can't stand spicy foods, and many people are surprised to find what I consider spicy. For instance, my big little brother doesn't see how I can consider BBQ chicken spicy, but I myself do, as I can't stand to eat it due to the sheer spicyoscity of it all. Now as for the nuclear bomb of spicy food, wasaaaaaabe? Don't even suggest it! It's like a merciless insanity pepper of hatred for my tongue! Sorry, the most I can stand is spicyness suitable perhaps for the elderly and people recovering from surgery.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
