We’ve reviewed it on our site, and found that it was more annoyed than angry.

What rubbish, I just got back from Anyang Station now, I even made a special effort to try this amzaingly ‘spicy’ burger, and it was not what I’d call hot, just mild.

Your integrity is lacking, man.

I’m scared of trying that burger, just because of that….

(Note: If you are planning to sample it,suggest the following precaution: Place a roll of toilet paper and a tube of haemhorroid salve in your refrigerator 24 hours in advance of your meal.)

The ones I had were from the Anyang location. It must vary then because the person who texted me on them being spicy was in Anyang too.

Where did you buy your angry whopper in Korea? I bought two from Ilsan because of this article, and neither was even remotely spicy. Now that I think about it, I’m pretty annoyed at how unspicy they were. You might even call me… Angry.

(I’m serious, btw, they weren’t at all spicy – and the jalapenoes were visible, but there wasn’t much of them.)

Must vary by location. I had one in Korea, 신촌, and I would describe it as mild. I feel cheated.

Actually, I ate one from the Hongdae BK, but I didn’t think it was that hot. I wasn’t a big fan of the mushrooms, either, since they don’t blend themselves with the mix of other ingredients. Because of this post, now I have to try another to find out if it really was that hot! Could be I burned my tastebuds straight off at the first bite~^^

After posting Andrew’s warning and getting some emails and a text message about it being true, I had to check it out for myself today. I now have one and a half Angry Whoppers burning through my gut. The half comes from Eun Jeong not being able to take more than three bites of hers. I read online that they’re not that spicy in America. It’s not the spiciest thing I’ve had in Korea, but it may be the spiciest thing I’ve eaten this year. I think that since it’s in burger form the heat is unexpected. It’s also tip-of-the-tongue heat as opposed to much Korean food, which is delayed heat. The ingredients are different from the American version. This one does not have the fried onions, and I didn’t see any jalapenos. But there were mushrooms and sauteed onions with a hot sauce. Tasty burger.

I had one of these in the US as well and it was of medium spiciness. I am willing to bet the spiciness has been modified for the local market.
