    I would so use that in their next marketing campaign. The slogan writes itself!

    “Outlawed in [Denmark|in some countries] for being too spicy!”

    Having had all 3 of those before, they’re definitely not “tasty spicy” or “fun spicy” any more, but unless you drink them on an empty stomach and try to wash them down with beer only, they were perfectly fine.

    Always got some of the 2x spicy here for when I have a cold, best way to clear your nose. 🙈

    I had 2 x spicy once, although I’ve been warned by the shop owner herself. That was definitely way too hot for me.

    Not sure, if a recall is justified though.

    I’ve had the 2× spicy. Honnestly the reason they should be recalled is for their quantity of salt. My mouth was burning more because of that than the spiciness.

    Pity the Dane who vacations to the US and tries one of those bottles of, like, Voltaire’s Furious Anal Cavity Sundering Sauce that’s at every farm stand and gift shop

    What part of the label didn’t make it obvious that it’s not for filthy casuals?

      Yes! My friend noticed that I like noodles so when I visited him the next time, I found Buldak at the table. I asked him: “Is it hot?” and pointed google translate camera at the label. The label said: “YOU WILL DIE.” - wow, thanks, this is what I wanted!
      Noodles were indeed sweaty.

      EDIT: I’m actually living in Denmark, so I’m not sure what to do, I grew attached to them

    I’ve had this stuff before. It’s comparable in spice level to what you’d get from a good Indian or Thai restaurant if the staff actually believe you when you say you want extra-spicy.

    The sauce packet itself contains “decolorized chili extract”, which is better known as oleoresin capsicum in some non-food products. Eating the sauce without mixing it into the soup as intended would be unpleasant for almost anyone, but only dangerous to people with allergies or certain pre-existing life-threatening health conditions.

    Casual Denmark L. Tragic.

    Buldak is delicious, add some rice and tunamayo to the leftover sauce after you finish the noodles and you have something great too.
