Canned ramen noodles ???
The canned ramen can be preserved for up to three years.

I think I prefer the bowl one that you need to pour hot water in it.

Me too. You can probably drink it by the time it's 3 years old. :hehe:

How can they, if they are able to, prevent the ramen from being soggy? It's not something you can let in its juice for half a day, let alone 3 years. :bleh:

It must be full of chemicals....

:hehe: Like our little friend MSG.

Seriously, I can understand using them in case of emergency, but doubt it's good. They don't really say it's good, they just said they sold well. I'd be one of those people to buy one just for fun, because it's weird and new, but it might end up like most stuff I buy like that: in the trash can. You buy one, but never do that again.

But chocolate chips do melt; however, they are able to keep their form because of the surrounding dough, but they are melted.

And the fact that they have a relatively small amount of surface area...

I'm not sure if this is the same one that I stumbled on on my way to Toronto, but yea, I think we have a few! Mind you, I didn't go inside, so who knows what the service is like...

You have a few!!! :bow:

I live in an Asian neighborhood and I never saw anything like that here. :shamefulcry: Take pictures if you go. :hehe:

I'd probably wouldn't enter either. I'd be afraid someone I know might see me. :beaten:

Mickey burger, something to unclog the Mickey burger and a $120 melon. I don't know who would pay $120 for a melon (or $5000 for 2 melons), but it has to be damn good. I wouldn't pay $20 for one.

Maid Cafes in Canada??? http://www.imaidcafe.com

Canada's getting cooler by the day.

Trench coat? Sun glasses? Afraid someone you know might see you???

Jeez-oh! If they opened a Cafe anywhere near where I live, I'd rent a permenant table, and change my email address to Happy [email protected] I'd never leave.

Unless of course they opened up a Shomuni Cafe nearby. And I'm not making that up. Tu-tricky sent me a note about the Shomuni Cafe that opened up in Japan. I'd probably spend my weekends there.

More on melons from Japan :)

Bankrupt Japanese town sells $19,000 melons
Their town has gone under, but farmers in Yubari in northern Japan are still seeing the fruits of their labour rewarded.

A pair of melons in the former mining town, which filed for bankruptcy this winter in a high-profile case, fetched a record two million yen ($19,000) on Tuesday, on the first day of an annual auction.

Yubari is famous for its melons but more recently become synonymous with the decline of Japan's countryside and fiscal reform, with the central government refusing to pay off massive debts blamed on wasteful projects.

The melons, a local variety that taste similar to cantaloupes, weighed 4.5 kilograms together.

"A high price is given to farmers as a customary gift on the first day of the auction," said Yoshinobu Kimura, a market analyst.

"But the price was especially high this year compared with that of last year, which was 800,000 yen" for a pair, he added.

A department store in Sapporo, the largest city on the northern island of Hokkaido, bought the melons which it will sell for 1 million yen each, in a bid to recoup its outlay.

This year's harvest is reputed to be the juiciest in years, thanks to excellent weather.
