I feel this way about spicy things. Everything "hot" is just hot to the average schmuck from the Midwest. Anything spicier than that gets dumbed down to become that (like taco bell Diablo sauce) or becomes hard to find.
I really enjoyed when that Buldak 2x spicy chicken raman "challenge" became a thing, because that's some great tasting raman and more in line with the normal amount of spicy I like to eat. Now I'm back to having to just order it online again.
In my part of the world 2x is weak, the challenges were doing 3x ๐
I've never seen 3x, but I've gotten the 4x before. It wasn't much hotter than the 2x, really.
At some point, your tongue is numb anyway.
You can order the sauce separately too. I love that Buldak spicy carbonara stuff.
I totally have some! But man, it's kind of pricey for what it is. Not saying I don't spend more on most of the hot sauces I buy, but still.
As an average schmuck from the Midwest. I'm sorry our weak tastebuds are fucking up your options.
It's not your fault. The taco bell one really tucked me off, though. The first summer it was out was a limited time thing. It was actually a bit spicy. A lot more spicy than anything else a fast food chain had.
But then when they brought it back permanently it wasn't half as spicy as it was. Taco Bell has like 5 fucking bland ass sauces now, and three of them taste about the same. What's the damned point? FU taco bell. You could have left me with at least one option besides all your ketchup with tobacco sauce mixed in. No wonder I've only been there like 4 times in the last year.
Yeah, I remember thinking the diablo one was pretty hot for my taste but now it's the one I go with. I didn't know they changed it, I thought I might have developed some tolerance lol. It's gotten way too expensive for what it is anyway.
Yeah. They buy cheaper stuff, and charge more for it. I can't stand the taste of their trash burrito shells they went to. Then, they charge twice as much for just a bean burrito and give you half the filling, even though it's just super cheap refried beans.
