This is not new and it does work to some extent. Back in highschool my buddies and I used to cheat at hot wings challenges by chewing a few cough drops first.

In a very traditional Afghan restaurant I used to frequent, if you ordered something really spicy, they'd bring you these small mint drops afterwards to chew on, no extra charge. Worked very well for me.
