I don't eat chili because I'm not a fan of peppers, and chili often devolves into a masochism game. I prefer not to get chemical burns from my food. (My enchiladas have half the cayenne the recipe calls for, and my annotated recipe says "cheese until it feels silly".) Still, Skyline looks worth trying.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Skyline isn't a spicy chili. It has cinnamon and chocolate in the ingredients (it doesn't taste sweet, though, and I maintain you can't taste the cinnamon or chocolate). There's not a bit of spice to it.

Thrive to spite them
oh man right now my poor E. He's sick, has a fever and had to come home early and he's devastated because he knows school is almost over and he's not going to have much time with his teacher.
And he's just sobbing and crying and saying almost wailing his teacher's name over and over and I want to go hug him but he wants to be left alone. So Mom and I are trying to give him the space he wants. But it's so hard not to go in there and just hug him.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
In that case, my position is that Skyline is not chili, but I'd eat it.

move out and draw fire
New Mexico checking in. Chili = meat, water, and chile. Green or red. If you have to add beans, pinto beans. No tomatoes.
All other things are meat sauces or stews that call themselves chili, and I generally like them, but I'm just now coming to terms with the idea that the meat in chili could be ground beef rather than chunks of mutton or beef or pulled pork.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My parents and sister left. It was nice to see them, but now I'm sitting in the sun and relaxing and breathing. I love my mother, but she kind of takes a lot of energy.

Oooh, that sounds delicious.

I'm with Jilli re: chili.

Our wings are not tired.
I have consumed and enjoyed many things that call themselves chili, but the only reliable consistent ingredient was perhaps chili powder. The last few decades they didn't have meat, yet still chili in my mind.
Had the Skyline variety about 35 years ago in Fort Lauderdale. It was tasty.

Poor noodle! It is so hard to hear the kids in that state.
