I bet it’s better than ramen.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Low calorie, with lots of fiber.

People would pay extra for that here.

LOL!

[Major Matt Mason]

So, is this an upgrade from cats and dogs?

I guess the Chinese will eat (and try to feed others) anything.

These folks obviously haven’t eaten rice cakes lately.

[PeterFinn]

I thought those noodles I ate last night were a little bland, but geez!!!!

[RexBeach]

I love their cardboard egg rolls. Great ruffage!

[Noumenon]

Next up: cheese-flavored packing peanuts dyed yellow. Should be a big hit.

So who is going to write the modern version of “The Jungle” to address the horrors of the global food production cycle?

Who’s going to stage the modern version of “The Crucible” to tackle Nifongism?

Our government sold us out and abused its power.

[dblshot]

What kind of box does it come in?

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Just another day in Communist China.

Why we keep trading with these commies is nonsense.

I think I got one of these out of the sandwich machine at work this afternoon.

[Clam Digger]

Now the homeless can have a home and eat it too.
