    There's actually a way you can tell when the noodles are coming! If you look carefully there's like a small burst of water about half a second before the noodles come out. Gives you time to prepare.

    Also note that before it happens, the noodles block some of the water - the flow lessens before the brief burst.

    I legit thought they were going to pick the noodles out of the river😂Honestly, that would've been far more interesting. The noodles would have a VERY interesting taste, being that it mixes with the bacteria and flora of the atmosphere. So now you literally FEEL the environment inside of you, and not just around you. It literally becomes a 4-dimensional kind of experience. But then again, the sanitation issue becomes the obstacle to that.

    This is honestly a genius way of saving food. Everything that's sent down seems to be well portioned for only one bite. Grab, eat, and repeat until satisfied. The fact there is a good amount of time between each serving allows the body to adjust to what's already been consumed. Eat until you're satisfied, not until you're full.
