With the spicy kind of instant noodles they're all kind of the same shit, especially if they're Korean like most of them are.
Spicy isn't much of a flavor at all. There's really only a volume nob on how much the spiciness is going to burn, not a way to get different tasting varieties of prominent spiciness.

Not that the other noodle packs posted in this thread are exceptionally high quality but Mama is easily the worst instant noodle variety I've ever encountered.
Only halfway decent thing about it is they have a duck flavor product, but that aside I can't come up with a worse noodle brand.
Would much rather have basic Maruchan or Top Ramen before Mama. It doesn't even match the level of mediocre.

I never though to look at pure capsaicin extract compared to spicy foods until a minute ago and damn, it'd be over 10 times as spicy as reapers. That'd be enough to make the average person try to tear out their own GI tract with a box cutter.

Shin ramen is elite when you do it like this :

Combine in bowl:
>Seasoning packets
>One egg
>garlic
>2tbs or so of Kewpie mayo

Stir until fully combined.

Cook noodles, pour in a little hot water into your bowl and stir temper the egg a bit, do this a couple times.

Add noodles and wa la. Makes for a really rich broth that is tasty as fuck

That's right. It's more technically correct to say "instant noodles," but most people get that when someone talks about "ramen noodles," especially in the West, they usually mean "instant noodles" and not an actual ramen soup.
>not sure why.
Because when Momofuku Ando invented instant noodles the particular sort of noodles he emulated were the noodles used in ramen soup. Kind of similar to how you have "boneless wings" which aren't literally wings but are an approximation of them that was popularized.

Are you trying to use "spiciness" as a word for "the presence of any kind of spice?"
In that case you're the one nitpicking. Any normal person using the word "spicy" in conversation will be referring to the burning sensation of capsaicin, not fucking pumpkin spice or whatever other autistic alternative you're trying to force here.
If a restaurant menu has a warning label for a dish that says "very spicy" no one born on the planet Earth is going to takd that as meaning the dish is going to be liberally seasoned with parsley or lemon balm.

Also remember that those peppers are always a dry weight SHU. So the actual pepper is much more diluted than what their scovile reads as. Extracts are therefore even more spicy by volume.

It's a bit disturbing how easy it would be for someone to slip in a sixteen million SHU capsaicin dose in any food or drink you buy and then you'll be violently vomiting and shitting your pants and possibly even approaching a heart attack or stroke if your stress reaction is bad enough.

the best instant noodles exist in japan and nowhere else. they mastered cup noodles to the extent that you can have a different flavor each night of the week, and NISSIN puts out specialty versions monthly featuring local ramen shops from around Tokyo.

Pic related, it's a cup version of Kikanbo's spicy miso ramen, quite possibly the single greatest ramen shop I found in Ikebukuro. This shit tastes exactly like what you get in the place, it's uncanny, and you can't find it anymore cause it's just a limited time.

The cup ramen and packaged ramen you get in America absolutely sucks in comparison, it's just bland and boring. I still eat it, but I know now what fucking luxury is when it comes to instant noodles, and it's not here.

>you'd just spit it out after one bite anyway
Once it makes contact it's already too late. Even if you spit it out or they pump your stomach after you eat it the burning isn't going to stop because it already interacted with your TRPV1 receptors.
Also it doesn't get painful until a second after contact, and someone not expecting it probably won't notice it fast enough to not eat it.

Almost anything can make someone nauseous. Also trying it repeatedly won't really tell you if there's something inherently nauseating about it because once you vomit after eating something once your body will remember and will be more likely to have the same reaction again.
Your body can't know exactly what foods are bad or poisonous so it relies in part on past experience. If someone gets food poisoning after eating at a restaurant where bacteria was the cause the first time they'd probably still feel nauseous if they tried it again later even in the absence of that bacteria because it's become a learned response.

Learned nausea responses to food involve the immune system and enteric nervous system, not your conscious awareness.
In fact the classic example of Seligman's 'sauce bearnaise syndrome' associated nausea involved him being fully aware a stomach flu had been going around his workplace at the time of his first nauseous reaction and that the sauce was coincidental rather than the cause of his sickness. It made no difference that he knew this when exposed to that sauce in the future in the absence of a stomach flu.
You can reliably repeat the learned food associated nausea phenomenon with lab rats. Garcia did this by giving them radiation poisoning before having them consume ordinary sugar water. From that point on they had the same reaction to sugar water in the absence of any radiation.
>You retard
Says the retard who made himself vomit five times in a mistaken attempt to prove or disprove there was something inherently bad in a noodle brand in a way that can never actually prove or disprove that.
