I would so use that in their next marketing campaign. The slogan writes itself!
“Outlawed in [Denmark|in some countries] for being too spicy!”
Even Denmark couldn’t handle the heat! Can you?!
I would buy that.
Having had all 3 of those before, they’re definitely not “tasty spicy” or “fun spicy” any more, but unless you drink them on an empty stomach and try to wash them down with beer only, they were perfectly fine.
Always got some of the 2x spicy here for when I have a cold, best way to clear your nose. 🙈
I like the spicy (black packet) and 2x spicy (red packet), it definitely has flavour to me! The 3x is closer to painful spicy though. Tongue’s are just different.
Also I would not recommend any of these to people with geographic tongues. They will hurt no matter what level you get.
I’ve had the 2× spicy. Honnestly the reason they should be recalled is for their quantity of salt. My mouth was burning more because of that than the spiciness.
What part of the label didn’t make it obvious that it’s not for filthy casuals?
Yes! My friend noticed that I like noodles so when I visited him the next time, I found Buldak at the table. I asked him: “Is it hot?” and pointed google translate camera at the label. The label said: “YOU WILL DIE.” - wow, thanks, this is what I wanted!
Noodles were indeed sweaty.EDIT: I’m actually living in Denmark, so I’m not sure what to do, I grew attached to them
Oh man hold on to it! The banning has made them contraband. You can be the Walter White of Denmark.
I don’t think you can wind up pantsless in a desert in Denmark, though.
There are dunes!
No, mate… Danes!
The Korean spices must flow!
I’ll allow pantsless in a fjord
I bought this shit once and I cannot hang
Weak.
Who fucking told the international press!? This is so embarassing.
Don’t worry bruv, we got plenty of Buldak over here in Flensburg. We also have cheap beer. Flensburg’s entire economy is propped up on Danske penge, so please come over.
Don’t worry Denmark is an embarrassment just existing
Is it?
Edit: Look, as a wise person once said there’s two things I won’t tolerate. 1) Intolerance if someone’s culture, and 2) the filthy Danish.
No I actually think denmark is pretty cool but they do talk funny
Wasn’t the original quote by Nigel Powers about the Dutch?
I’ve had this stuff before. It’s comparable in spice level to what you’d get from a good Indian or Thai restaurant if the staff actually believe you when you say you want extra-spicy.
The sauce packet itself contains “decolorized chili extract”, which is better known as oleoresin capsicum in some non-food products. Eating the sauce without mixing it into the soup as intended would be unpleasant for almost anyone, but only dangerous to people with allergies or certain pre-existing life-threatening health conditions.
Man I ordered a pack of curry ramen from these guys cause I was craving curry and needed to hit a cart minimum for a discount and was like sure why not. The not reasoning was the fire from both ends. It took my stomach a couple days to recover because I just scarfed it down despite the pain
“The notice has sparked heated discussion online with many amused reactions from lovers of spicy food.”
Cheeky journalist
Go hide in your lego fortresses, you wimps.
Though funny, overly spicy food has killed people. There’s a difference between adding spice to your product and just dumping in a bottle of pepper spray. Spice is like caffeine. There really should be a limit to how much can be loaded into a product before it needs a genuine warning label.
These noodles have been around in Korea for a while, and I’ve been able to get them in Walmarts in Canada for years.
They even have a 10x spice flavour.
I don’t think anybody has died from eating these noodles.
10x sounds well past the point of being enjoyable. I’ll have to pick some up and check…
yeah, say that to south east asians. i bet you’d get laughed at.
Let me start off by saying I do not disagree. Even without death it can cause nasty stomach pains (not ulcers, though, that myth was dispelled) and cause severe irritation on the way out. In addition, a LOT of folks have undiagnosed conditions. I’m just adding perspective. I see no issue with adding a warning to products seasoned with peppers in the 800k+ range the same way you’d add one for a roller coaster because it absolutely can kill you if you have a medical condition and I’m not so sure that people realize that.
For spicy food to kill an average healthy person, you’d have to consume a few pounds of super hot peppers to get that sweet infarction. Ghost peppers come in around 1,000,000 scoville units and the one chip challenge is seasoned with vipers and reapers which come in under 2m (there’s no official scoville rating that I could find on the chip itself). Some of the nastier sauces (Pure Evil and Plutonium No. 9) come in between 10m and 13m and those are eaten by heat aficionados and idiots looking to prove something with no more ill effects than shitting yourself inside out and pouring milk on your brown eye to relieve the burning.
The story about that kid is absolutely tragic. He was 14 with cardiomegaly and myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery (enlarged heart and a congenital defect). I don’t know if he was previously diagnosed (that’s a whole discussion about our healthcare system in the US) but eating a chip like that at 14 with other conditions is a health decision. He didn’t know the risks because there was no health warning and possibly he didn’t know about his condition.
In Korea, this particular product is advertised as “mild spice for very young children.” /s
I laugh, but my tolerance for spicy food took a nosedive. Not sure if its tangential to my health issues in the past or just living in rural Iowa, where the “mexican” food is made explicitly for white people.
Pity the Dane who vacations to the US and tries one of those bottles of, like, Voltaire’s Furious Anal Cavity Sundering Sauce that’s at every farm stand and gift shop
