“Top Pro Eaters Compete for $5,000 in Cash Prizes

NEW YORK - October 22, 2007 - On October 27th, the world’s hungriest competitive eaters will gather for the first-ever NARUTOâ„¢ Clash of Ninjaâ„¢ Revolution World Ramen Noodle Eating Championship, the culmination of a multi-faceted launch event for the new Wiiâ„¢ video game. Major League Eating have initiated a mandatory chopsticks rule for the competition, in keeping with the traditional method of consuming ramen.

The contest will feature not merely an all-star cast of competitive eaters, but a virtual cornucopia of interesting characters to boot. The focus will be on 4th-ranked Tim “Eater X” Janus of New York City, the face-painting tiramisu champ who recently ate 20 pounds of grits in ten minutes. Nipping at Janus’ heels will be his roommate and training partner, Crazy Legs Conti, a man who once ate his way out of an 96-cubic foot box of popcorn, earning the nickname, “the Evel Knievel of the Alimentary Canal.” Arturo “Grande” Rios, the 13th-ranked pigs’ feet-eating champ from New Jersey, will be fending off best friend duo Eric “Steakbellie” Livingston and Micah “Wing Kong” Collins, as well as 18th-ranked Justin Mih, a Harvard graduate student and chopstick specialist.

The contest will be the cornerstone of an entire day’s worth of activities surrounding the launch of the most exhilarating fighting game yet for the Wiiâ„¢ home video game system: NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution from TOMY and D3Publisher of America. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Nintendo World® Store in New York’s Rockefeller Center will be filled with gaming stations and collectible card game areas. The first 1500 fans to arrive wearing a NARUTO headband will receive an exclusive free gift. Also involved will be card games, Q&A sessions, mini-tournaments with prizes, and a raffle for a one-of-a kind NARUTO DS!”

Really. This is a website about ramen. What did you expect?

For no reason other than to call it “Art”.

A funny parody video of James Blunt’s You’re Beautiful about Ramen Noodles.

Remember to pour out a little soup for this Ramen-makin’ thug that ain’t with us no more.

Momofuku Ando (who not only has a kickass name) was the founder of Nissan Food Products Company died earlier this year and will always be remembered as the man who fed all of America’s college students.

He lived to be 96 years old and built his empire from a shack behind his house where he created the first chicken broth noodles in a cellophane bag where it led to 16 flavors of Top Ramen and Cup Noodles that made over $131 million in profits last year.

Thank you Mr. Ando for all you’ve done for those of us who can’t cook, have no money or are just plain lazy.

You the man!

The one thing most students forget about when planning for their future is the cost of ramen.

Sure, books are expensive and so are the classes. Then you need housing, transportation and other ever day living expenses but then the thing most college students never add into the equation is ramen.

Look at it this way, you pay for ONE book that lasts you an entire semester. But some days all you eat is ramen.  Hell, some weeks all you eat is ramen. Well that isn’t a one time payment.

Say you buy ten packages of ramen for $10.00 and you eat at least two a day. That $14 adds up. $56 a month.  $672 a year and then you might be in college for 4 years. Yep…$2688.00.

Where is the loan for that?

You’ll never become a doctor or lawyer without ramen because everyone needs to eat.

Think about that when it comes time to make your decisions for the future.

Is this ramen here to protect John Conner?

Maybe it’s just a wrongly convicted soup who must try to survive a public execution gauntlet staged as a TV game show?

It could be a retired elite commando who only has a few hours to rescue his daughter from an exiled dictator.

Then again, this ramen could be part of an elite team of soldiers who find themselves hunted by an extra-terrestrial warror!

Most likely it’s just soup though.
