Three fiery flavours of the Samyang instant ramen line are being withdrawn: Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew.

Denmark’s food agency issued the recall and warning on Tuesday, urging consumers to abandon the product.

It’s unknown if any specific incidents have prompted the Danish authorities into taking action.

    Never understand the appealing of extremely spicy foods. You can barely taste any flavor behind the hotness, you’re torturing yourself and causing literal harms to your intestines and guts microbes for a pack of fuckin instant noodles.

      a pain tolerance builds up fast and people like the endorphin high that comes with the intense heat.

        Saw a guy on YT eating hot wings with some sauce that’s rated like a million scoville, then the dude wipe his tear with his hands.

        Poor dude, but the endorphins must have felt great.

      I’ve tried so many spicy things and I have the same thoughts. The hottest thing that still retains flavors, imo, is a habanero. I’ve tried tons of peppers and the sauces featured on Hot Ones and, yeah they are certainly hot; but there’s not really any nuance and anything you put them on will taste entirely like the sauce. Even with just a dab.

      My ex could barely taste the heat so they loved everything crazy hot by normal standards.

      Not everyone has extreme reactions to it.

      The 1x is super tasty, but yeah after that it’s just hot it doesn’t taste better. Dick measuring at that point
