‘Fire Noodle Challenge’ On TikTok Banned In Denmark
If you have been stuck in the rabbit hole that is called TikTok, you probably have come across the TikTok challenge called the “Fire Noodles Challenge.” Well Denmark has officially banned people from doing this challenge.
What’s So Bad About The “Fire Noodle Challenge?”
First off, this challenge is not new at all. This challenge was created years ago. Denmark has only now banned this from being done. The company that makes the noodles is called Samyang. The noodles come in different levels of spiciness and different flavors.
People claim that it’s so spicy that you could die. Well when someone on TikTok hears this, of course everyone is gonna flock to the nearest stores to purchase it. For a while, you couldn’t find them on the shelves because everyone was trying it.

Denmark Says No TikTok “Fire Noodle Challenge”
The Ministry of Food in Denmark has pulled the brand from shelves because of the company putting too much capsaicin in it, according to AP News. If you don’t know what capsaicin is, it’s the innards of the pepper that give it it’s heat.
They claim that in one single pack has so much in it, you could develop acute poisoning. But if you don’t live in Denmark, you’re totally OK to try it still. Denmark is the only place banning it.
If you’re really wanting to try them, it’s still available on shelves here in the U.S. Or, if you’re like a lot of us, buy it from Amazon. Just a heads up, they’re not cheap like the Cup O’ Noodle brand. It will set you back about $20 and up. But each pack comes with 3-4 servings in it.
