    Next on the news: Fødevarestyrelsen recalls food products packed in plastic. Not due to environmental concerns, but worried about customer safety. “What if one of them eats the plastic?” /s

    I’m being cheeky but seriously. Even if you disregard the text (as it’s in Korean and English), you can kind of get a clue from, dunno, the fact that the package is all red? With peppers with evil faces? And a bomb???

    But let’s say that someone buys the product by accident, even with all visual clues that it’s extremely hot. And the person prepares it. And the ramen is considerably hotter than they could handle. Yeah, the person will totally keep eating it, to the point of capsaicin acute poisoning, right.

    There’s a difference between protecting the customers and being arbitrarily patronising and dehumanising towards them.
