"There’s been a recent surge of people trying to eat Samyang’s Bool Dak Bokkeum Myun (translation: Flaming Chicken Fried Noodles), one of South Korea’s spiciest ramens, as quickly as possible on YouTube. Why are so many people doing this sadistic challenge? I have no idea, but watching strangers cry and writhe in food pain is surprisingly entertaining."

Nope. I like spicy noodles, but these sound ridiculous. The lady at the store even warned me off of them.

I'm not a big fan of Korean ramen to begin w/but I'd try it once if I happened to see it.

Ok so I bought one while we were at H-Mart this weekend.

Good luck! ;)

Ok well that wasn't so bad. But possibly because I left some water in before I put in the hot packet. The burn kinda sneaks up on you and lingers though. And I'm salivating like crazy. And my lips feel puffy. Despite the spiciness it's actually kinda tasty.

So, I'll pass. I love spicy foods, but when my lips feel different, it's not even fun. Glad to heard they taste good, though.

I'd try it again. That guy who ate 5 packs in one sitting is crazy though. I was almost at my limit by the end of just one. And that's even after my wife had a couple of bites.

Well now I want to try this...
