Step father doesn't like spicy stuff, but we were given a pack. It's sat on our shelf for a while, and I decided to finally open it up. Heat was. Immediate. Holy shit. First bite I barely made down. I figured, ok , the second bite will surely be better. Right? WRONG. Somehow it was even worse

Is it the 2x spicy or 3x spicy? The picture was cut off. I’ve had the 2x its definitely got a kick for packed ramen. Been looking for the 3x. Can’t seem to find it in the US.
If you don’t have a tolerance, they would be pretty overwhelmingly spicy.
For sure. The sodium content is insane
oh yer i had these the other week, they actually do have a bit of spice
Me and my son like spicy stuff. Usually Habanero/scotch bonnet level, but we will dabble in super hots here and there. The Ghost Pepper Queso from Mrs Renfros comes to mind as something that was quite hot, but we finished the jar in a week or something.
I had gotten the 2x and neither of us could eat it. It was bananas. I do recall though that there was something about preparing it we may have gotten wrong?
First pack of these are the worst, but as you work your way through the 5 pack it gets way easier
Welcome to the club!
Keep at it and that tolerance will build up.
The 2X is pretty hot but you need to add extra 2X sauce from the bottle to make it really kick in good.
Try the black pack. It’s good.
They actually banned the 3x in [Denmark](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy00gk0kr82o.amp) for being too spicy.
Nothing like that artificial food flavor
The 2x are my regular comfort goto, but the 3x are bitter to me.
I thought these tasted basically the same as the normal level spicy buldak. The first few mouthfuls pack a punch but you get used to it fast.
Perfect for trick or treat. Just leave then beside the toffee pickled onions …
My wife likes these but only uses like a drop of the spicy stuff. I prefer maruchan hot spicy beef, but I use her leftover spicy paste for mine. Still can’t use that much at a time, but I like the flavor
These are pretty hot, I love this though and enjoy the spice level but I definitely get a strong 5 minute afterburn from them. Never tried the x3 but I think that would be overkill.
The dextrose noodles make it all way worse. It’s just a bad time all around lol
Kinda mild, 3x has some spice tho.
Spice level is about right, just wish it tasted better. This spice level on Shin Black would be amazing.
It could even be that the type of capsaicin in these is different than what you’re accustomed to so that’s why it feels hotter than it actually is.
The x3 is pretty good. Ate it almost daily while living in Japan some years ago.
Love these so damn much. Really clears the sinuses and they’re very tasty.
