I saw some buldak cheese version on sale so I got some and after 5 bites I’ve sweat the equivalent to half an olympic sized pool and starting to see aliens. Is there something genetically different with people who enjoy this?

    I do actually not find buffalo flavoured things (I don’t eat buffalo wings but I do buffalo cauliflower & tofu) spicy. And yeah I like to add hot sauce to foods that are not already spicy, but if they are already spicy I don’t add hot sauce.

    I don’t think my spice tolerance is crazy tbh. I’ve definitely eaten things that were too spicy for me. I tried the Buldak 2× spicy and found it nice but once I got to the end of it I was struggling. Still managed to finish it though.

    Hot sauces are very variable in spice levels imo. Most of them I don’t find spicy at all, but some of them are so spicy that even adding a little bit to my food has ruined it before.

    Is there something genetically different with people who enjoy this?

    Probably. My parents are from a place known for their love of spice, though I mostly grew up in places that were very conservative on spice.
