Truer Words Have Never Been Spoken!

Ah internet, you continue to inspire me – this “What The Friday?!?” has a REAL thing, and you’ll never look at ramen noodles the same way again!

Ramen Noodle Baths!

For those who have followed me for awhile, I reported on this funny trend a few years ago, and in researching it again, it appears it’s a fad that is destined to stay – and why not?

It’s healthy for you!

“The baths use a pork-based broth that is packed with collagen believed to improve the skin of patrons.”

You see, there are health benefits to this!

“Ramen noodle bathing” is not just for women, either: the internet is full of pictures of guys “ramen bathing” as well:

Even families have decided to get into the craze – yes, you can now bathe with your entire family in a large cup’o’noodles!

A number of websites have covered this trend, and all point out the health benefits of bathing in ramen noodles!

An Australian website also covered the story, with some funny pictures of people noodle bathing, and a recipe as well:

And because it is, after all, the internet, you will find ramen noodle bathing taken to a whole new artistic level as well!

There really isn’t anything to add beyond this, right?

Of course, ramen is very important to Japanese culture – so much so that they opened a ramen museum to celebrate the food:

Inside the museum are hundreds of exhibits highlighting the unique world of the ramen noodle…see more of this unique museum here:

Yes, “neon noodles!” This amazing “fluorescent ramen” is making a trip around the world – find out the details here:
