Are korean spicy noodles safe?

[Izlude]

Hey all. An asian food store opened up and I bought some spicy korean noodles, black package. I only used 1/4 the sauce packet. They taste good, but are still really hot. I had no idea they were actually "novelty" and not supposed to be eaten like a normal lunch... apparently (i only now just found out that in the past people did a spicy noodle challenge with these)? Are they safe to eat like normal or can they cause any kind of complications?

Complications like.....?????  If you survived eating them without turning into a puddle of sweat and tears...you'll be fine.

 

If you aren't used to spicy foods ... the only "complication" really is that it sometimes burns coming out the other end.  Just a forewarning.  🙂  Could also give you a slight irregularity to your normal bowel movements.  A little reflux, at worst, maybe?  Nothing serious though.

 

I love spicy foods (yes, Thai hot please).

Thanks. I was ok after all. Just read some horror stories of people ending up in the ER, didn't happen to me. I guess I can enjoy them after all x)
