So they do hot, bastard hot, and OMFGWTF hot. They also do weird, really weird, and WTAFF weird.

Thanks for the shout out! 🍜

Some of the Buldak flavours are pretty scary, especially if you get the x2 or even x3 heat, but just use half the spice pack and enjoy the flavour combos!

I used to eat ghost peppers, most "OMG TOO HOT" spicy ramens are in my "Mmm, that's good, but it does raise a ferocious sweat" zone. I'll see if my local stores have Buldak. Might have make a trip to a Korean store though.

The x3 spice was banned in Denmark for being too hot! See if you can get those and report back. I’ve not tried them myself! 🥵 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy00gk0kr82o.amp

My local Korean market doesn't carry it, they do have some other Buldak flavors though.

I checked online, the only place I can find it reliably is Amazon.

One of the reviewers called it "The Dark Souls of Ramen". At ~$30 for a five pack it's definitely gonna be the Dark Souls of my pocket book...

I'll keep looking, 'cause I don't like Amazon, if necessary I'll pick some up there. But not right off, I'm moving and money is gonna be tight for a month or two. But as soon as I can squeeze it in. I'm intrigued by this "Dark Souls of Ramen".

I mean, I'm sure it's going to be hot, but hoe hot.
