In fact, humans started cultivating mint and chili, hence it worked

There are billions of cows, chickens, etc. in the world. Purely by numbers, those species are incredibly successful. Yet, If not for humans finding them tasty and easy to manage, we would not have bred them to this degree and they wouldn't have reached this degree of success. Somehow, against all odds, being tasty/something we want to eat has somehow become an incredibly valuable and successful adaptation.

Evolution is absolutely wild, and this really drives home the fact that evolution isn't about the individual's likelihood of survival, but their likelihood of reproduction.

Well, now it has. But uhhh, rest in pieces to all those species that were tasty ,but too much of a hassle

why does it feel like i can breath better while chewing very minty gum? i mean i assume it's just an illusion but i've always wondered

It may be some or other thing with your nose. For instance runny nose after eating spicy food is a known atypical reaction and happens a lot with people with deformed nose wall

affecting 80% of people

I didn't know that a runny nose from spicy food wasn't a typical reaction! Neat! I'm not surprised that my nasal wall is likely deformed like the rest of me hahaha. Thanks for the interesting information!
