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've had the 3x spicy ones, they are very hot that isn't to much of an issue for me. The problem is that they don't actually taste any good.

I like spicy foods, but I also like flavour, I find a lot of the super spicy foods only really taste of spice.

I wouldn't get them again, they are too hot to be enjoyable and don't have great flavour to compensate for what I would class as a "challenging" level of spice. If they tasted awesome, it would be a different story.

I don't tend to sweat from spicy foods. So maybe there is some genetic component. Two of my three boys like spicy foods.
