Still remember the time I ate some 2X spicy Buldak Ramen and it kicked my ass
I think my personal spice level is somewhere between habanero and ghost pepper
Any more than that and I turn purple and sweaty

I have a bag of the 3x one from ages ago. It's expired and not vegan but I keep it for the memories of my vision vignetting when I ate some
Oh god, I probably would have died if it were 3x
it is instant pain on mouth contact tier spicy. doesn't taste great either tbh. 1x is best flavour
Agreed
How did you know I had buldak myself?
I AM MENTOK, THE MINDTAKER!
Do you seriously eat nothing but habanero ramen ?
Nah, but I did have some for lunch today, I'm just being goofy as usual
stay goofy
pro tip from a milk faced cracker baby who can't handle heat but will pretend he can: you should get habanero powder and just start adding it to everything that you'd put chili powder in, it's got a real fruity taste to it that's pretty good and you'd probably get more oomph out of from a better habanero powder instead of whatever traces of habanero they put in the ramen seasoning
I miss my fucking habanero powder btw. sous chef won't order me brussel sprouts OR habaneros and when I wanted to turn all the jalapenos into powder before we went on break she was all NO you need to MAKE A SALSA VERDE and guess what? we used like half of that salsa before we threw it out! I'd still have delicious, earthy, cayenne-hot jalapeno powder to throw in with my cumin/cardamom/MENA/Indian (inspired, i'm hhhwhite and doing my best) food, but NO, apparently I'm "in a powder phase" but guess what? it's been months and I need those powders more than ever, god damn it
