Not to mention, isn’t capsaicin completely harmless and only activates your pain receptors without actually causing any direct damage (there may be damage from the inflammatory response in extreme cases).

    Yep, same. It’s nice. I don’t suffer until over 500k Scoville. Youth eating Madame janette was good training.

I don’t think it can cause direct damage in the way lye or a poison would. I could imagine it causing so much pain in someone that it triggered a seizure or something else awful. Although I think almost anyone not trying out for “Jackass” would stop eating it well before they got to that point.

The primary source[1] says kids in Germany have been hospitalized by weaker chips. Something something tik tok challenge. It does seems these ramen are hot. Still weird they take it of the shelves though.

I wonder if this is accurate because I love tons of that El Yucateco on my food (and frequently eat other spicy stuff almost daily), but the Buldak ramen I tried was was so spicy that I couldn't take it and didn't get close to finishing my bowl.
