The video quickly captured the attention of numerous Instagram users. While some regarded it as a wake-up call, others dismissed it as a hoax. One user questioned, "Why are these openly sold? Why is it written so small?" In contrast, another user defended their favorite snack, asserting, 'This is fake. I checked my buldak ramen packets, and there’s no such warning.' A third user remarked, "It doesn’t even feel healthy when you eat it. Why choose these over spaghetti?"
Here’s what others had to say:
"Fun fact, my wrench came with that same warning. It’s because they don’t want to spend money in California to test their products for reproductive harm or cancer damage, so they just put that label on as a loophole to avoid unnecessary government regulations."
"Me watching this while eating ramen."
"We prefer quick meals over home-cooked food, even if it means risking our health."
"It was well-intended, but most companies can’t afford such testing, so they all just include the warning."
