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

  The Thai and Korean “spicy” levels are NOT standardized in any way whatsoever.

  And you must learn this on your own.

  Buldak is pain, Lee curry is anguish. The latter is from Glico (Japanese). I shared a portion with my wife 15 years ago, and still remember. The horror… The horror…

  Any idea how Korea ended up with spicier food than Japan or 80% of China?

  I’m convinced Buldak x2 spicy ramen is a psyop.

  Shit is spicy but only moderately.

  The Korean ramen spice is so weird its so chemically and gross. Its very hot the first few times but the heat dies off if you eat it regularly.

  Talking about the one with the chicken breathing fire.

  Shit’s closer to entertainment than food

  Maybe I just havent had the right ones. I’ve had spicy ramyeon, but not the kind that makes me regret my life or just cause pain on my tongue. I HAVE had that pain in the form of max level (5) Indian food and jollof rice, however. Well, I can eat level 5 Indian food without dying, but at that point I’m not enjoying/tasting the flavor as much as I’m just tasting tingles, so I just get level 4 as a haply middle ground.

    You could try Buldak if you haven’t yet. I believe they have a 3x spicy version, if you really want to go the extremes. The regular buldak is already too spicy for a lot of people.

      They do have a 3x. IIRC it was banned in Denmark because it was basically considered toxic.

    I guess it affects different people differently. The Buldak brand is the hottest I’ve tried so far.

      I think Buldak is the only kind I’ve had so far lol. I’ve had the spicy black packaging and the pink spicy carbonara kind, and I don’t remember hating it at all lol. Guess I have to try the x2 spicy kind.
