Lemmings who enjoy eating buldak original or hotter noodles. Do you feel nothing when you eat hot buffalo wings? Do you just drown food in hot sauce on a regular basis? (lemmy.world)

I saw some buldak cheese version on sale so I got some and after 5 bites I've sweat the equivalent to half an olympic sized pool and starting to see aliens. Is there something genetically different with people who enjoy this?

I really don't think original buldak noodles are very spicy at all. Like, I can feel it, but it isn't what I would consider to be very spicy. They also don't taste good, though. Like 3/10 spiciness.

Typical buffalo sauce or name brands like tabasco, cholula, etc. are not noticeably spicy to me.like 0/10 spiciness.

I have a decent spice tolerance, but I also don't enjoy eating super spicy things "just because". I want my food to actually taste good. Being able to eat spicy food lets me taste more flavor in hot peppers, but there's zero point in eating really spicy stuff just to prove you can, imo.
