I guarantee these are flying off shelves right now. Tell people something’s so spicy they could DIE . . . they WILL want to try it.
Denmark just banned TikTok’s favorite brand of ramen noodles and claimed they’re so spicy, they could be deadly.
It’s a Korean brand called Samyang. They banned three versions, including one called “Buldak Hot Chicken Ramen 3x Spicy” and another that’s “2x Spicy”. (Here’s a photo.)
Denmark’s Ministry of Food announced they pulled them for having too much capsaicin. It’s the stuff that gives peppers their heat.
They claim the amount in a single pack is so high, there’s a risk you could develop “acute POISONING.” But only Denmark is banning them. You can still get them at grocery stores in the U.S. and elsewhere. Or on Amazon.
They’ve been around since 2012 and went viral a few years later thanks to the “Fire Noodles Challenge“. They blew up again this past March after Cardi B tried some of the brand’s noodles on TikTok.
