For me, it turned out I was reacting to something in my well water and a bit after switching to bottled water, I could go back to chocolate/coffee/alcohol/spicy food with no problems.
So it's a pano doing normal pano things, but it's just surprising in context. If you have not yet tried it, you can have friends jump in and out of the frame as you slowly move across a scene and have silly photos where they appear more than once!
