Banning these ramen is ridiculous, but very low spice tolerance is a thing. Used to work with a someone who could legit detect 3 black peppercorns in a gallon of chicken soup. It made the soup "a bit on a spicy side". It was so bizarre that we did an AB test to confirm it and it was true.
We had some neighbors growing up who my dad referred to as “meat boilers”, not intended complimentarily. They were surprised to see standard issue salt and pepper shakers on our kitchen table: “Ooh, you like your food spicy!”
