@@Nugg12 They used the word correctly? 🤨 Iconic or Ironic would both be reasonable to use here. Both have different meanings but similar spelling. I'm only mentioning this because I assume you thought they spelt the wrong one but either or are useable in this text.
Facts. Sometimes that shit slaps so hard with the spice and other times it’s like buffalo sauce. The place near me gave my stomach issues for 2 days bc of the spice 😅
Location def plays a part. idk why these look red like their buffalo hot every time i get atomic its more of a brown color and even as a high spice lover their atomic wings def made me question why if i ate too many
Oh, you can lol. Most of my Wingstop locations by me have turned me off from eating at their restaurant. I've tried 3 locations and each one was just as bad as the other. One location used a severely high amount of salt in their dry rub wings but no seasonings on their fries. It was disgusting. Another location I tried their chicken sandwich and it was par. Not a fan. Idk what's going on with the food restaurant industry but they all just need to shut down and restart.
They took out the heat in them. Or the peppers they use is no longer bringing the heat. I remembered when they were actually really hot. I will say that the taste is still really good.
yeah i think something changed bc they used to be much more spicier but also sometimes it is spicier than other times but now whenever i get atomic it really isnt that spicy
I got these wings the last time I went to wingstop and it was really spicy, prolly bc they drenched them with sauce like they were swimming in a pool of it
I had some (Atomic) almost 20 years ago. They were covered in seeds (unlike yours) and my nose ran profusely and beads of sweat formed and rested around my eyebrows. Perhaps they've toned them down since . . . ?
It depends on the Wingstop lmao, also on the day sometimes the peppers aren’t as hot. Usually it isn’t spicy I eat spicy foods and it’s spicy just not crazy spicy like it was when I was a kid. Lol
Some people’s tastebuds/tolerances handle spice from different peppers in different ways. Habanero stuff always sees to be hotter to me than ghost pepper or reaper stuff. The flavor is infinitely better also. But there’s this Korean spot in my area that has the king of the spicy wings. They call them “ultra spicy wings” and they always ask me if I’m sure I want to order them whenever I go there. Sweat my ass off every time. Cockatoos in Federal Way, Wa if anyone is interested.
ive realized that atomic has gone down in spice over the years but also its kind of inconsistent from chain to chain. Last time i ate it the sauce was waaay darker than that
They weren’t spicy to me either and I was nervous to try 😂, my poor husband though was sweating and couldn’t even talk! He kept asking me are you even human, do you have taste buds 😂😂
Whoa, where are you? Those wings are huge compared to the wings they have in California. And wingstop out here is hit and miss, depends on what group of kids they have working.
They used to be much hotter back in the day no one would buy it, I won the challenge where you just had to eat one and got a free order with fries and a drink back in like 2005! Those were the good ole days!
Depending on where you are, wingstop changed their sauces, according to some customers the sauce was too spicy that it was inedible so they changed the sauce to make it more edible lol, so if anything it used to be very very spicy but now you could probably compare it to buffalo wings 🤷🏽♂️
