Beverages

Capsaicin-containing beverages were available before 2007. I have been drinking Goya brand Ginger Beer since around 1995. Barndoorsentry (talk) 23:02, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, some beverages list jalapeno oil in there ingredients. This jalapeno oil should contain capsaicin, as well, since it gives off the same sort of burning sensation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.8.225 (talk) 23:33, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing

Piquant and piquance is more used to describe a tart or acidic aspect to food. piquancy is used to describe the hot affect of food. I think we should clarify this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.204.130.177 (talk) 18:42, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

PiquancePungency

Support, but not purely because pungency is the "technical term". I think of the two pungency is more used than piquancy and, as noted, piquancy is such a rare term that it can have different meanings. As the article describes, piquancy can be used to refer to foods that a mildy spicy. I think you were a bit hasty in changing the lead/introduction. I'd favour both terms being used, and I've amended it. -- Peter Talk to me 19:37, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As can be seen here, the article was moved to this title from "pungency" with little more than an edit summary. Piquance was created earlier and, as stated by the creater of that article, "it always refers to a FORM of pungence, but pungence doesn't necessarily refer to taste/piquance and they're not synonymous; moved some content there". -- Peter Talk to me 20:15, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
