The not so Hot- Hot noodles

Sarah and I picked up some Ramen noodles from a small Asian market we found locally. We eat a lot of Pho, and when seeing this place after Reagan’s birthday party at the jump park, we just had to stop in to see if we could score some Pho noodles and maybe some seaweed for making homemade sushi. Sarah got me a Sushi Bazooka for my birthday so we will be eating fresh for now on… maybe. While seeing isle after isle of stuff I wanted to try we stumbled across two very hot looking packages of Ramen noodles. I do not like Ramen noodles at all, but I do like the flavor packets inside and am willing to toss out the Ramen noodles for mung-bean noodles any day to get a little taste.

 {I wrote most of this before learning that there is a You Tube challenge pertaining to people attempting to eat these noodles and the 2x spicy noodles too. All I got to say is most of you all are wimps. Great video editors but wimp mouths. }

These were the first noodles we chose to try because while walking the store looking at all the giant fruits and the isles of noodles and rice there was a clerk moping the floor and he looked like he may know which noodles were going to be hotter. He did not point to these ones. This packaging make the noodles look like they may be the hottest noodles on the planet. On the bottom left corner is a very concerning word, (mania) yeah so when the guy pointed to the lest scary bag and said “hottest”, I figured he was wrong or didn’t understand what I had said. So I just smiled and said thank you. “We will get both packages just in case the on the guy said was the hottest wasn’t the hottest.   These are the SamYang brand and the seem to be a little better than Top Ramen. The first day that I had off from work, Sarah and I cooked these guys up first. First because if they were hot I would know that the other packaging wasn’t as hot and if they weren’t hot like the guy hinted to then I would know that the helpful guy was right and that I should be more trusting in other people. It said mania on the package so it should be dang hot. The noodles were a dud as you can see in the video. Now don’t get me wrong; they tasted okay and I would consider getting them again as a lunch item, but they were not hot at all. Reagan had a plate full after I stopped recording.

On to the second package of noodles, these looked way less scary than the first ones Sarah and I tried. These hot chicken noodles are only 2x spicy and don’t even say mania on the package so there is no way that they could be as hot as the first package of very un-hot noodles. I wanted to record making the noodles and trying them just in case on the slight chance that they were hot and managed to take me by surprise it could all be caught on camera for the world to see. Sarah had tried a package while I was at work one day and swore up and down that I would need milk and that she almost threw up because of how hot they were. After hearing that, I was exited to dive into making these up into two nice little snacks.

All in all the noodles weren’t bad, that is my mung-bean noodles were not bad with the flavor packet and I will have it again soon I think. Reagan and Macey will not be having this soup anytime soon though.

Enjoy and subscribe.

I promise I will get better at editing and shortening my videos.
