The Most Complex Bowl of Ramen Noodles Ever

by John P.

Ramen Noodle Rube Goldberg MachineI know that like 10 billion people eat Ramen noodles every day, but I guarantee no one takes the route of preparing them that these folks took on this Japanese game show.

It was apparently a Rube Goldberg competition and they used everything from bowling balls to marbles and included both flames and water. This machine goes on for about 5 minutes and manages to do nothing more than pour some hot water over a package of noodles.

Awesome.

Fun, but by the time that machine is finished, my lunch break would be half over.

I wonder how long it takes to reset this machine for another portion of noodles just in case you are still hungry.

6 minutes for a cup of “Maggi” instant noodles… thats about the time I need, and cleaning up the kitchen may take the same time as at that “construction” siete

Well I thought I saw it all with the Ramen hot tub a while back, but this just reinforces that Rube Golberg was in fact Chinese.
