North Korea invents “Super Ramen”
“North Korean scientists have created a new type of noodle that has twice as much protein and fives times as much fat as ordinary ramen.” –wait, did I read that right? North Korea? Apparently, a technologically-advanced team of North Korean scientists have specially engineered the “super ramen” from ingredients such as soybean and corn, instead of the usual wheat flour. Designed to stave off hunger pangs longer than “conventional” or, I guess, “non-Super,” ramen, this could certainly be a breakthrough for a country that’s experiencing severe food shortages and famine.
Sadly, somehow, I don’t think anyone at Nissin is losing any sleep over this, though I’m sure diet fad heralds are eager to see the outcome of this grand experiment.

The skeptic in me says, “check it for melamine” due to the “protein” amount.
urox: I think you might’ve found the secret: it’s made *entirely* of melamine!
It’s people. You have to tell them it’s people!
Bwahahaha…that’s horrible. Ok, it’s actually really funny. Hahahaha!
