The Eternal Ramen Noodles - Part II

As you know, I did an article on the ramen noodles that were thrown out many weeks ago with absolutely no signs of decay. I updated it with another picture taken exactly one week after the first, and there was still no decay. In fact, it was even worse, it was starting to turn purple.

I've taken a third photo, the ramen is now on it's 5th week of being on the ground.



(As you can see, the purple is starting to spread on this stuff. Man...that's weird)


(This is the last picture I'm going to take, on it's 6th week. It's decayed a tad, but I could very well be doing this for years until it totally fades away)


I'm starting to think that maybe it's slowly going to join back together into a little ramen monster and kill me in my sleep. Or attempt to take over the world, which is just as disturbing.

The Eternal Ramen Noodles

Ok, this is going to be even more strange than the zombie experience, trust me. Almost three weeks ago now, lets say that some off-tasting ramen noodles (no, not top noodles) were thrown out near the front porch. Now usually, it isn't but a few hours later that a possum or something eats thrown out scraps, but no. Not this time. Infact, I don't think it would survive if it did, to be more frank.

You see, these ramen noodles have been sitting in the soil near the porch for over 3 WEEKS. Something is just wrong here, even the bacteria aren't touching it. Now I know that this stuff comes from China, but what the heck would they be putting in these noodles? It sure isn't flower and egg, my guess would be nylon, based on the sheen that it gets when the sun hits it just right. Maybe they have advanced to actually putting the 7 year olds in it instead of just forcing them to make it.

So, something this monumental deserves it's own article and that's exactly what it's going to get. I've taken a "Now" picure of the stuff sitting there in the soil, three weeks after being thrown out. Did I mention it has survived numerous rains and a snow? Here is the picture, just for the purpose of tracking it's decay. I'm going to see how long this stuff takes to fully dissipate.




(Behold, the all powerful ramen. Update pics to come)
(This is an update photo, taken one week after the first. Look
closely and you can see an almost purple tint to it, yuck)

I'm never touching another ramen again, 15 cents a pack or not. And to think, I practically lived off this stuff in the summer of 06', no wonder I had that strange headache.
