I don't recall if szechuan peppercorns are capsaicin based like hot peppers are, but if so, lemon juice or vinegar should do the trick. Just be sure to let it sit for a moment so the chemistry can do its thing.

Hydroxy Alpha Sanshool, actually. Not capsaicin.

Any idea if it's basic or acidic offhand? I don't have time to look up the HAS right now, but I know capsaicin is lightly basic, so acids can be used to neutralize it.

It took a spoonful of mayonnaise to stop the pain.

My rating for Numb Flavor Lays is ⭐⭐½. The five-spice barbecue flavor is lovely, and it isn't painful like ghost pepper chips, but I didn't enjoy the novelty of a numb tongue or the unstoppable, constant burn.

I give the spoonful of mayo ⭐.
