Comment on I can't be the only one who learned this the hard way

I have a fun story about this.
I once purchased buldak at my local supermarket, not knowing what it was. I thought they were regular instant noodles.
They were actually painful. I had to drink an entire glass of water between every mouthful. I eventually gave up.
A few days after, I randomly stumbled upon a news article about the exact same product that I bought being recalled in Denmark (I live in France) because it caused abdominal pains and vomiting.

When I read that, I actually went out to find those noodles since I’ve never really tasted food so spicy I can’t handle it, and I occasionally buy something extremely spicy. Never found them, but did find the noodles OP talked about and they were fine.

There actually are noodles in Korea so spicy that these buldak stuff is apparently completely pedestrian.
