I tried these noodles once, and once only. They have more in common with riot control agents than with actual food, and there’s no reason to eat them other than to demonstrate toughness.
I’m not saying Denmark is right in banning them, but they shouldn’t be sold alongside food. Perhaps keep them in a locked cabinet behind the counter, next to fireworks and such.
I tried them too recently and I really like spicy food, but they were just nasty.
Unless it is demonstrated to be genuinely dangerous, it should be sold as normal. If no one liked them, they wouldn't sell.

Turns out they were demonstrated
Yeah, in the same sense that peanuts are dangerous to some people...
Ok, then I agree it shouldn't be sold anywhere.
Let's ban peanuts, shrimp and milk too, some people will also get poisoning symptoms from them too.
Usually children know when they are sensitive to those things and can avoid them pretty well. How should a child know they are more sensitive than others to potential negative effects of capsaicin?Also, this brand of spicy ramen will be a lot easier to get rid of than literally everyone that produces peanuts, milk, and shrimp.
Maybe we could find a way to test kids and see if they are susceptible, and then coach them to avoid this ramen at all costs, but that's a lot more work than simply recalling the product that is poisoning children.
The regular ones are one of my favorite ramen packet brands. I've never tried the 2x or 3x spicy types. I could see 2x being good because you definitely build up a tolerance and I find the normal ones don't quite give the same kick anymore. 3x seems excessive but who knows.
I was inspired to eat one now (different flavor so probably not as spicy). The spice is fine but the noodles are gross. I think I'm just going to use the flavor packets with Top or Maruchan ramen.
Frozen tteokbokki takes slightly longer to make, but is worth a few extra minutes.
I like the Ktown Mad Spicy as a pretty consistent go-to. You can make your own and go even hotter, but of course less convenient than frozen.
+1 for Ktown Mad Spicy.
However I must point out they are not rice cakes, but wheat cakes. Also, tteokbokki benefits a lot from having some cabbage and onion mixed into it... delicious!
You can buy the spicy sauce in a bottle, I have one in the fridge and throw it on my rice regularly. I like the noodles personally (not the carbonara flavor that seems to be popular now, it's not for me). Maybe Korean style ramyun is just not your thing.
I have friends that eat these daily
Yeah, alongside whatever other foods from other cultures that we dislike!
