    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…

          Even the 2x is rough for me, and I can handle spice pretty well.

          10x is deep in the “challenge” category, I think…haha
