What could “Sprite Noodles” taste like?

TikTok is the social media platform of the hour, and for good reason. With bite-size videos full of funny and engaging content, what’s not to like? We especially love the creative food ideas people come up with, like the McDonald’s apple pie hack and the recipe for making pillowy cloud bread, because they let people share ways to make already tasty food even more delicious!

The latest food hack to go viral on TikTok in China is a noodle recipe using a popular, spicy Korean-style instant ramen known as Shin Ramen. It caught the eye of our Japanese language reporter P.K. Sanjun, who, as you know, considers himself a foodie. They call it 雪碧拌面, but for P.K., who doesn’t speak Chinese, it was hard to judge what kind of dish it was based on the meaning of the characters alone–a combination of “snow”, “blue”, and “lo mein”–, so he did a quick Google search to get an idea of what to expect.

Unfortunately, all the results came back in Chinese, so that didn’t really help. P.K. had eaten dishes with Chinese egg noodles before, so he had an idea of what to expect from the “lo mein” part of the name, perhaps. But where do the “snow” and “blue” come in? P.K. asked fellow reporter Takashi Harada, who knows a little bit of Chinese, and it turns out that 雪碧 is simply the Chinese name for Sprite.

Is there an alternative to the Sprite? I don't use 'Woke Coke' products...

Funny thing about “foodies”, they can’t cook.

Every single corporation of moderate size and larger is woke now. You can pretty much just drink filtered tap water, and eat fruit, veggies, and meat...

Looks like something you might find in a trash receptacle on the back nine of a resort-style public golf course.

Sounds like a better option than supporting the 'woke' whackos! "Everything woke turns to sh!t" (including woke 'food' ;^)...

If you do what I wrote, you’ll lose a bunch of fat, be healthier, and feel much better.

I always thought my ramen would be better with HFCS.

True - I hear there's an 'epidemic' of heart disease, diabetes, etc. in America, primarily caused by what we eat...

I add a bit of deli roast beef and kimchi to my Shin Ramen. I won’t add extra pepper since it’s hot enough as it is. Might try adding the green onion and cucumber.
