Ramen Students’ Blog

I admit, I love ramen.

I’ve just never loved ramen.

But now, if ever the mood should strike me (which I’m pretty sure NEVER will) I can have an intimate encounter with my favorite oriental treat.

Cup Nude is an “adult toy” sold in Japan and is in fact NOT ramen. But if you close your eyes and pretend…you’d be a weirdo.

I don’t know about you but when I get “hungry for love”, I don’t go to the cupboard.  Plus what is inside of the cup doesn’t look very appetizing anyway.

And let’s not forget the flavoring. Cup Nude comes with a packet of Gently Acid lotion. Mmm… pleasurable.

I wonder if they have Naughty Nurse and chicken broth?

5…4…3…2…1…RAMEN!

Playing with your food has never been so awesome.

Maybe someone can explain this product to me.

Is it Pikachu flavored?

Is that meat? Carved from real pikachus or maybe scientifically created in some japanese lab with what they believe a pikachu would taste like, which I assume is marshmallows and crack.

I’ve had beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, etc but never pikachu. So if anyone can read japanese, please let me know what the heck kind of ramen this is.

Found this interesting video of a man making ramen by hand.

Now that’s a skill I’d like to have.

I’m hoping for a Ramen Christmas sweater this year.

In a quest to save the environment by means of ridiculous inventions, Triumph International Japan, makers of such popular lingerie as The Shopping Bag Bra and the microwaveable Warm Bra have created the Chopstick bra.

With 25 billion pairs of chopsticks thrown away every year this company figured it would sell bras with reusable chopsticks built in.

Eating hot ramen in this thing could be painful if you don’t stand very still while dining. (But I’d love to see it in action!)

Possibly Not Safe For Work.

Changes the way I’ll look at my favorite food forever.

In what is probably the longest contest title ever - First Ever Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution World Ramen Noodle Eating Championships is brought together by D3Publisher and Major League Eating.

The event begins Oct. 27th, 2007 at the Nintendo World Store in New York City from 10 am to 4 pm. There you can see professional eaters like Steakbellie, Eater X, and Crazy Legs Conti as they gorge themselves on ramen to see who is the best.

“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!”
