"Got a hot mouth? Try these cures!"

6 Ways To Cool A Hot Mouth (EXPERIMENT) is the 135th and final episode of Season 7 and the 731st episode of Good Mythical Morning. It aired on July 17, 2015.

Episode
Rhett and Link open the episode by recalling the previous episodes in which they have eaten hot peppers. The way they have tried to cool their mouths is through milk or ice cream as they read somewhere that that was the best method. They want to find out if that is actually true. The way they are going to do that is to eat slivers of habanero peppers and then test different items. They will rate how well they work on a scale from one to ten Smokish the Bears, a copyright free version of Smokey the Bear.

Round 1 - Milk

The protein in milk breaks down the bonds that milk bonds that capsaicin forms on your nervous receptors.

Rhett: 5 Smokish the Bears

Link: 4 Smokish the Bears (Late Link came back and gave it a 9)

Round 2 - Peanut Butter

The fatty oils in peanut butter bind with the capsaicin.

Rhett: 4 Smokish the Bears

Link: 7 Smokish the Bears

Round 3 - Sugar

Sugar absorbs the spicy oil and helps mask the spicy taste.

Rhett: 4 Smokish the Bears

Link: 5 Smokish the Bears

Round 4 - Avocados

The creamy texture and the fat help with the spice.

Rhett: 0 Smokish the Bears

Link: 6 Smokish the Bears

Round 5 - Toothpaste

Peppermint or menthol flavor cancels out the burning sensation (Eddy made this up).

Rhett: -1 Smokish the Bears

Link: 6 Smokish the Bears

Round 6 - Lemons

Capsaicin is an alkaloid and lemon juice contains citric acid which should neutralize it.

Rhett: 2 Smokish the Bears

Link: 3 Smokish the Bears

Milk is declared the winner.

They then spin the Wheel of Mythicality which lands on "Dance out of frame".
