Beautiful way to offload some garbage stock to people obsessed with making content.  I bought one of those some years ago, and sorted them into two equal bowls. Somehow my roommate ended up with more of the lovely jelly beans, she's been traumatized by flavors like dirty sock, grass, and dog food for 4 years now. EDIT: The hot challenge jelly beans weren't that great, but I would totally buy a box of jalapeno flavored jelly beans.

Shame Boy posted:Oh I bought some sauce from morocco recently that I forgot the name of that was very much like that and was real good. Kinda weird flavor for hot sauce though so I wound up putting it on noodles and stuff like that. That's some good praxis and/or capitalism though: but only is the little one lady selling her product in the loving queue of the competitor, she also has the competitors cashier acting as her dealer. Definitely get your own hookup to the lady.

Spending money to pay taxes and the website secretly sells your data to facebook for targeted ads is some pretty epic capitalism. It's like a snake eating itself but the snake has tapeworms that are also eating themselves.

Iron Crowned posted:I love me some hot ramen buldak 2x spicy is one of the two hottest things i've ever eaten. the other was when my mom followed a recipe for chicken covered in a habanero and tomato paste puree, but forgot the tomato and served us a nice thick layer of habanero puree topped with a slice of vegan cheese that was indistinguishable from melted plastic. anyways, i got that 2x spicy in a 5 pack and by the 3rd I was starting to crave it. the flavor is really good, but it's not as intense anymore. it feels like i reset my spice tolerance and will forever be chasing the dragon of that first bowl of buldak 2x spicy ramen.

hawowanlawow posted:the 2x buldak is a bit much A friend told me 2x and 3x are meant as 'challenge cups' like the dumb 1 chip thing and not made for actual pleasant consumption. A friend loves buldak and spicy and wound up buying some of them and found them nearly inedible. I did a similar thing not realizing a ghost pepper cup of noodle was made for 'videotape yourself hating this and post it to our site' I'm glad I ate it on a day I was working from home, I spaced it out over an hour or so and had some slices of bread, but yeah it definitely moved into unpleasant gurgling stomach stuff like when you eat a chunk of reaper on an empty stomach. I've also noticed restaurants like Arby's are trying to get in on a weaker version of the 'challenge' stuff, by trying to sell a spicy fry and milkshake combo where a few drinks of the milkshake is enough to neutralize the spice. But hey besides foodwaste capitalism, let's talk about how you make 100 million dollars by 20: Be born with a family that is rich enough to throw give you 25 million you can throw away at the casino

Burger King's Halloween Ghost Whopper wasn't really hot, but it was really good, and I would eat a ton of those if they weren't LTOs. Arby's Diablo sandwich is the hottest fast food you can get, but it doesn't work well on the roast beef, so get the chicken. The Diablo sauce is best on the curly fries, because the crinkle cut fries need to go away forever and not comeback.

If you're ever in doubt check the ingredient list. If you see something like "capsaicin extract" or any of the other words they use for it, pass. It tastes like poo poo and is added to make it unbearably hot, ruins whatever it's in. A lot of those bottled Buldak sauces have it.

The chip challenge is fun to do with your friends and honestly any more than one chip would be too much. It's not $8 of fun though, that's dumb. So you can more accurately judge my hot chip opinions, I like Dave's Insanity Sauce for ramen

It tastes like poo poo and is added to make it unbearably hot, ruins whatever it's in. A lot of those bottled Buldak sauces have it. There's a "hot sauce store" at a local dying mall that I checked out and quickly realized that literally all the sauces were exactly the same sauce (based around capsaicin extract) with like, an absolutely tiny bit of other ingredients to make them vaguely different. That plus the general atmosphere made it really feel like some kind of hot-sauce-based MLM scam, so I'm assuming that's what it was.

As someone from Mexico, I've never understood performative Hot Sauce Culture. You eat spicy food because it's tasty, not just because it's spicy. All of those 10 billion scoville unit sauces taste like old coins. At least Habanero actually tastes good and adds something to the flavor of food it's in. Even if you get enchilado it's usually worth it and sometimes you gently caress up going for seconds.
