Spicy
Consumption results in the user's eyes turning blue. Spicy is a tier-3 effect that adds +38% of the product's base value to the sell price and contributes 0.665 addictiveness to the customer. Like all effects it stacks with the others already on a product, up to the 8-effect limit, and it can be mixed onto any product in the game.
Which Ingredient Adds It
Exactly one ingredient carries Spicy in the v0.4.7 data:
| Ingredient | Price | Unlocks at | Value on OG Kush |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chili | $7 | Peddler (tier 4) | $48 |
On a $35 OG Kush bud the ingredient pays for itself as long as Spicy is worth more than its $7 cost — which at +38% of base value it is on every product except the zero-bonus ones.

Transformations
Mixing does not only append effects — under v0.4.7 rules an ingredient first applies its transformation table (if-effect-present → replace-with) to the effects already in the bucket, and only then adds its own default effect if there is room. That is exactly how Spicy can appear on a product even when no ingredient carries it: another effect gets converted into it mid-mix. The full 114-rule table is derived from the game's own mix-map data and every recipe on this site runs it. Spicy is not the initial effect on any product.
Price Multiplier
Spicy adds +38% of the base value. Because the bonus scales with the product's base price, the same effect is worth a different dollar amount depending on what you mix it onto:
| Product | Base price | Sell price with Spicy | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| OG Kush | $35 | $48 | +$13 |
| Meth | $70 | $97 | +$27 |
| Cocaine | $150 | $207 | +$57 |
Full formula: sell price = base × (1 + the sum of every effect's bonus), rounded to the whole dollar — the same math the mixing calculator runs for any ingredient chain.
Products That Want It
Spicy earns its slot in the top-profit recipe for Best Meth Mix and Best Shrooms Mix. Its +38% bonus scales with those products' higher base prices, which is exactly why the expensive bases are where tier-3 effects pay off most.
