Posing is cool and all, but you have to do the Noodle Dance in Noodle restaurants to celebrate the greatness that are noodles.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeh...
A (smart?) PR stunt following the (silly) trend of "people posting cute pictures of themselves in from of food dishes on social networks because its trendy so its cool".
When will people stop pretending and go back to simply enjoying food for what it is?

Well...what better way to have fun chowing down on noodles than generating a few laughs with a few funny poses for the camera? Wink

The girl in picture #4 (with the red spoon) has some sharp and scary K9 teeth. Almost like a vampire.

Wow, what a nostalgia blast. I remember watching that when I was REALLY young. I don't know how you made the connection between Udon and PB&J Otter, but good on ya! Excuse me while I spend the rest of the day watching 90s cartoons.

Japanese Twitter is so much better than American Twitter. All we have are stupid hashtags made by annoying people who care about social justice.

Is this what's considered of interest to ANN readers nowadays? Compiling photos of random high schoolers and in turn providing a forum for strangers to comment on their looks ("cute" or "scary" some of them say). Kind of amazing how this site has changed over the years.

I hope there will be a gintama episode about this because I don't understand this trend.

Eh, I don't understand most trends. People are weird.

As long as they're having fun I guess...?

Why do I get the feeling most of these girls just walked in, grabbed a bowl, took a picture, and left? That would explain all of the clean bowls and spoons. Half of them you can't even tell where they are, could be a bathroom stall for all we know.

Don't worry, as a younger man I don't get them either...
"the goal is to make udon more cute, fun and happy" they say. Laughing
