I don’t know what could be more boring to blog about than what I had for lunch, except that I don’t know precisely what it is I had for lunch. I need to keep my strength up, so I had to eat something, and all I could find was one of those “just add boiling water” type of Asian lunches. There were only three words I could understand on the package — “UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT.”
Yes, I’m serious. Here’s a scan of the lid:
When I unpeeled the lin, I found foil packets of flavor ingredients on top of the dried noodles inside, but no other markings or instructions. I’m intuitive enough to know how to add water and in dump in the flavorings, but otherwise I’m without a clue.
I’ve heard that aliens are taking over, but this really is too much, too fast. It’s bad enough that millions of unidentified guest workers are sneaking across the borders.
But UFOs?
Aliens from space?
What fence could keep them out?

That’s instant yakisoba, or fried soba noodles, from the food conglomerate Nissin. Interestingly, the Japanese pronunciation of U.F.O. is “yuu-foh,” as if it weren’t an acronym. There’s a well-remembered television commercial from a while back in which packages just like the one above move menacingly into the sky as if they were actual U.F.O.s. I just hope you like MSG and hydrogenated oil!
I just knew the alien invaders would poison us with toxins!
I’ll be lucky if I survive!
UFO tofu!
Weird Al strikes again!
For a moment, the noodle being picked up by the chopsticks looked like the head of a hideous alien, and I assumed that this was a DVD/food item.
Maybe Dali did the art!
mmm yakisoba oishii desu!
Those are quite popular here in China as well.
