Just curious, but is the Passion Spice an actual item in Ranma 1/2?  I've read 
up to volume 32 and have yet to see references on it yet.  

NO.  Passion Spice appeared in one of the early Ranma Fanfics and has 
been seized upon by Fanfic writers ever since.  

"Passion Spice - Big Trouble" by Christopher Gadekan, for those who are 
interested in the source.

However, it is used 
universally in fanfics that it seems like it is a Ranma 1/2 item.  

Many authors don't know the series as well as they like to think and 
continue using it in the false belief that it actually existed in the 
series.  It also perpetrates the myth that Shampoo deals in drugged food a 
lot - in the series she did it *once*.  Kodachi is the one who *ALWAYS* 
puts some drug in her food.

REally? I remember seeing in like volune 6-11 somewhere that there was 
this pepper shaker. And there was this thing where Akane sniffed it and 
glomped onto Kuno because she saw him right afterwards. I only assumed 
that was the passion spice.
