What's the spiciest instant ramen? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. And welcome to the premiere of Season 29. Yeah, new season. New intro. You see that intro? It's new. It makes me want to do this and my eyes are like almost closed. It's a little bit chill. We got, uh, new sweats. Yeah, we do. We have a new working urinal in the men's restroom. Yes, yes, yes. And we've got a new attitude. Hey, the attitudes from back there. Yes, we got a big season full of surprises coming your way. Oh. Our New Year's resolution was to keep y'all on your toes. Uhhuh. But first, what better way to defrost from our winter break than with a search for the spiciest ramen out there? What? Okay, boys, the Mythical Crew researched and taste tested some of the spiciest ramen on the market, and today you'll be tasting their selection of the top five to determine which is the overall spiciest. But first, go ahead and familiarize yourself with the ranking board. So not so spicy over here with flamma-bull. Mm-hmm. Born to be mild. Spi-cy what you did there. Brought their A flame. Oh yeah. And fire in the bowl. Fire in the bowl. And your first ramen is from Shin Ramyun's red line, you have the Fire Spicy Beef flavor. And, and we t-. Yep, you sure did. Mm-hmm. And then what did you do? Uh, I also tasted it back in the day is what you were going to say. I could see it in your eyes. And we said that this brand was our favorite. We really liked it. But not the spicy one. So this is, is from the brand, uh, Nongshim, which is a Korean brand. Um, now they used to use a slogan for this in China that roughly translated to, he who cannot handle spice is not a true man. Oh wow. Ouch. What do you think about that? What do you think about that, Linky poo? That I'm not a true man, according to them. Alright. I don't care what they think of me. Oh. Wow. I mean it hits. Hmm. It's hitting. That is so good. It's got a good taste to. Hmm. It is hitting and like literally hitting the back of my throat and making it hard to do my job, which is speak coherently. It is. I've failed twice today. It is very spicy. But it's not, hi, it's not hiccup inducing. Nope. Mm. The first bite is always the spiciest of the whole morning now, and we'll have to reckon with the fact that. I think it can get spicier than that. It will definitely get spicier, but when it gets less spicy, does it feel not spicy at all? We're gonna have to really be dialed in. So we're gonna say this, um, Shin Ramyun Red Fiery Spicy beef. Yeah, how about just right in the middle? We don't know what we're up against. We don't know, but we're saying in terms of taste, it still has the Mythical seal of approval. It is great. Which is a new thing we're doing this year. Uh, bring in the seal. Yep. Uh, it's an actual seal, yes, it is. Who agreed to be here. Mm-hmm. Up next you have ABC Spicy Beef Street Noodles. Well, they've really gone out of their way. Nothing on the packaging. They're trying to keep it, um, what, a little, a little mysterious. Did this come in like another package? So it comes in a multipack. Um, I, I dropped the ball on this one and, and we got this, the small package. Okay, but it says that ABC is an Indonesian Ramen Brand. Uh, you being from Indonesia, could you just, uh, give us off the top of your head the description of what this package would look like? Oh, absolutely. It's red and white. You know, it, it, it similar to the Indonesian flag colors. Okay. Has letters A, B, and C on it. Wow. You really painted a great picture. It has the letters A, B, and C on it. It doesn't feel like this is gonna be that flavorful. This doesn't have as many as much, uh, like broth. It's a totally different taste. Completely. So, uh. In its own different world. Yeah, what do you call that flavor? Ginger. Ginger. It's super gingery and that's the type of spice that it is. I'm not really getting anything else besides just that. My lips are still hot from that first one. The ginger punch. This one is clearly not as spicy. There's not. Not even close. Not a lot of flavor happening either. There's a lot of ginger flavor, but I think we're gonna call this one out. We're gonna say it's flamma-bull. The only place that ginger is in my life is as a chew when I feel nauseous. Hmm, what kind of circumstances. Travel. Travel. Running errands, sitting in the backseat. Sometimes you get sick on errands. If I'm in the backseat, yeah, it's really just usually long travel. When are you going on errands and you're in the backseat? What? Gimme, gimme the specific scenario in which you're going on an errand and you are in the backseat. You're really having a journalistic approach to my meaningless dribble this year. I think you're lying. I second that, I second that. I think you're lying. I think we caught you in a line, Mr. Neil. I was just riffing, you know. I like to think that one day I'll run errands with a chauffeur and I'll get sick and I'll need my chauffeur to give me little ginger chews. Okay. But it hasn't happened yet, but I'm manifesting it. Up next is Buldak's 3x Spicy, and like all Buldak ramens, it is chicken flavor. Buldak, I love the name, I love the packaging. I love the mascot, they make a big deal of their mascot. Hochi. Hochi mad on here. And I wanna say a couple of things about this mascot, and this isn't anything that I'm observing, this is literally the stuff that, ho, that they have, that Samyang Foods has said about the mascot. The birthday is April 13th. Hochi is addicted to spicy taste. Hochi is full of confidence and motivation, but whimsical at the same time. Hochi has the worst fashion sense. Hochi is dreaming of being a food stylist. Hochi has a poorly proportioned body. What? No, they said that about their own mascot. Hochi is poor at housekeeping, but Hochi can eat five packs of hot chicken stir fried noodles at a time. Why you gotta say poorly proportioned body. Yeah, that's that, that's the body shaming. Come on now. Of your own mascot. Come on. Is in bad form. This is so saucy. Oh man. And that sauce really sticks to the noodles. It's so thick. In a way that I really like and it is spicy. Good gosh, it's hot. Oh, man. Wow. It says 3x. I think I might like it, whoa. And that's about 2x more than I can enjoy. This is hotter than the. Oh, yeah. This is hotter. Oh yeah, dude. Oh yeah. And yeah, pass it. Man, I love it. There's milk on standby because if you drink water when you drink, eating spicy, it makes it worse. I love it though. It's so good. I need to eat more of this. That's what I say every time I have it on this show. It's not too much for you? I really can't taste enjoyment. I'm missing that entirely. It bypasses enjoyment. Okay. It appeals to a different part of the brain, the spice, and I think the people who like spicy stuff, they, they relate. It's literally. A cough hiccup. It's literally releasing endorphins and it's making you feel, it is making you feel things that food otherwise can't make you feel. Hold on, wait. I'm, I'm looking down at the two of us doing this episode now. Yeah, see. I'm not, I'm not here. Do I have a poorly proportioned body? I'm up here guys. I'm up here, guys. Do you see me? Do you. Guys, I'm up here. But don't you love that? I think that's the thing I'm trying to invite you, Link, and everyone else who's not into spicy food into this because the pain is the thing that makes it interesting because it's another layer that you can't get, like, it's not a taste. People are like, it's so hot, I can't even taste it. That's what we're, that's, that's what we're experiencing. It's so hot, we can't even taste it because this is beyond taste. You're being such a Buldak right now. Yeah. Right. So we're gonna say. Which I thought meant something else. We're saying that it's hot. It's hotter than that. Hotter than hot. And I bet you it's gonna be fire in the bowl. We think it's gonna be the hottest one, but we'll find out. Oh man. So happy to be in this year with you. I'm so happy that we made it through last year. You're coming around. I, I feel like I'm getting a new perspective. Yep. I'm down here guys. I'm down here now. Are you back in your body? Yeah, and. Welcome back. Oh man. 'cause remember last year? Don't. Sorry. You've seen them because we've been wearing them. The new GMM color block hoodie set. There's pants that come with it. Oh, what you doing? You standing up and walking? Well, you're walking back there and. The pants. You can't see the pants. Look at the pants, oh God. Look at the pants. The pants, the pants have a three dimensional. Oh God. GMM logo here, and this is three dimensional right here. Oh my gosh, I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm in my body. Shop at mythical.com to get both of these colors. Okay. Up next, this is Culley's World's Hottest Ramen Noodles 2.0. This has ghost peppers. Oh no. And it has Carolina Reaper. Oh no. They claim it is the hottest on planet Earth. 1 million plus Scoville heat units. I really feel like I should have been oriented better. It's a, it's a cool packaging. I didn't know it was gonna get to this. Striking fear into my heart. I didn't know, I didn't know we were gonna get to joke levels of spice. Performative spice, and I just talked such a big game. And here I am facing the spice mountain. Spice mountain sounds like what somebody from Alabama calls Space Mountain. Guys, I'm sorry. This says Spice Mountain. This says, yeah, this says best before December of 2025. Okay, we can't eat it. We can't eat it. All right, we're gonna skip this round. Lemme smell that. It's gonna hit you. It's gonna give you bad, it's gonna, it's gonna make you. It's triggering. It's gonna make you think real bad thoughts. Come on. I'm gonna mix it all together here. It's nice to to to have a little, to get a little wild to kick off the season, but come on y'all. I was sweating from the last one. I just can't, I can't do too much of this because I, I don't feel, I mean, you gotta get the slurpage. Oh gosh. I. It's co It's coated. It's coated plenty. It's coated plenty. Okay. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared, here. Look, I'm shaking. Oh. Oh. It's, it's rising. The, the noodle's going down my tube and my face is getting hotter and I'm, I don't want to be here anymore. I wanna be up there, but I'm still here and I'm scared and it just tastes so gross. I think I've transcended. Oh my God. Oh my God. I think I've transcended. I hate the taste, because of what we've been through in the past. Are your glasses fogging up? Yes. Yes, my glasses were fogging up and I'm gonna, I'm going to wipe my face with something that hasn't touched anything hot, and I'm gonna think out loud because I'm panicking a little bit. Excuse me. You eatin' more? It tastes awful. It, it's so bad and it's so hot. Surprised I'm not hiccuping, but yeah. It is performative spice. That's my favorite spice girl. Oh God. Aren't all the spice girls performative? Hey. What's so wrong with being performative? Performative's fine if you're performing. No, we're actually that, Baby Spice was a baby, and Sporty Spice was sporty. Um ha. This is, um, incredibly hot. Too much. I will say that if I were to sip the broth, I think, yeah, I would cross over. Yeah, I don't. Like John Edwards. Remember crossing over with, with John Edwards, the psychic, not John Edwards the politician. Oh God. Uh, and so I'm not gonna do that. This is clearly beyond a shadow of a doubt, the hottest one that we're gonna taste today, I hope. Right? You said that last round. Yeah. I'm being. Please let this be it. I'm being performative. Please let this be it. Um, this is number one. If you, if you're into mouth torture, that's where you want to go. It does not taste good. It tastes so bad. Finally, you have Paldo Fun and Yum Extra Hot Spicy Noodles. It's building from the last round. I know. And it's not going away. I even tried ice cream and it's not working. I love ice cream, oh God. It's, it's, uh, yeah, it's just, it's still, still be, it's still such a struggle. I feel like I could do fractions right now. I was always bad at 'em. Gimme some fractions to do something with. What, what can you, um. Gimme a multiplication of a fraction? Three-fourths times one third. Three-fourths times one third is one fourth. Three-fourths times one third is one fourth because it is three over 12, which is one fourth. Okay. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna check your work or anything. I'm hurting too much. Right? Yes, yes. Let's get into this. Hold on, hold, hey, I've never been able to, I've never understood fractions. Yes. Spicy food and I didn't even have to think about it. A whole new part of my brain, the fraction part was accessed. Gimme another one. Uh, one eighth divided by. Okay, stop. One half. One eighth divided by one half is one fourth. It is. What? How do I know that? Hold on. The spice. One 16th because half of, half of one eighth is. No, one divided. Divided by one fourth is four, four times one eighth, which is one half. Mm-hmm. Was I right? Yeah, you're right, instantly. There's silence back here. Yes. One 16th. Yes, dude. You're right, dude. You are. You're right. He was right. You were right. You were right. And it was the spice. What was the question? I, that's the problem. I didn't do math, I just. I think thats the problem, that's the problem. Problem spice. Okay, well this can't be as hot as that, so maybe it was a false fraction alarm. We're back in normal places. Now, I mean the, uh, ugh, ugh, the hotness from this is nothing like before, but it's, it's, it's re-triggering the hotness from the other stuff. Ugh. Uh, I decided to keep the beard this year. You haven't said anything about it. You haven't said. Oh. You haven't said anything. You, I don't want you to, I mean, we did talk about it, but. Your beard is approximately 40% of your face, which is, uh, two fifths. Uh, two fifths. Two fifths of your face is a beard. I mean, how would I have known that before now? Is it, there's a lot of white in it. What, what's the percentage of, uh, grays. It's 77% white, which is 77 over 100, which is a non divisible fraction. Represented as 0.77. What is happening to me? I was kind of just asking if you liked it. I can only think in fractions right now. How much do you like it? How much are you threatened by the fact that I can grow a beard too? Um hmm. On a scale of what you have to gimme a something to make a fraction out of. On this scale. On a scale of five. Yeah. I am threatened two out of five, the same percentage that your face is beard. Wow, isn't it weird how that came back on itself? My, my blackness is whiteness. What? What? Let's just put this out there. I'm not commenting on your blackness. I think this goes here. Okay, it's like, that's not for me to talk about or. Or me, right? Right. Or you. It, but leave a comment below if you want to, um. Keep, keep you guessing. We're, let's put this here because we now know beyond a shadow of a doubt. It tastes good. That this one's the best, just like we thought it was at the other thing. This one's pretty good though. Where we said that stuff was good. We like the way the spice sticks to this one, Buldak. This one's hot, but sucks. So. It is the hottest one. We crown you Culley's, the world's hottest ramen noodles, but you've already done that for yourself. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is.
