đ Before you go
Noodle enthusiasts keeping up with the latest viral Buldak noodle trend might cut back on their noodle consumption after a woman on TikTok said eating too much Buldak ramen sent her to the emergency room.
Lucy (@lucymourad) uploaded a quick video of herself from her bed in the hospital with the caption, âRIP to buldak, Iâll miss you but my kidneys wonât.â
In the six-second video, the TikToker quickly pans the camera around the room before pointing it at herself.
âPOV all the Buldak noodles you ate did indeed send you to the ER,â reads the text overlay on the video.
The video received 1.5 million views, and prompted a number of questions from concerned fans of the packaged ramen noodles.Â
