Do you suffer from noodle harassment?

[Elixer]

Well... time to use a noise canceling fork.
Or, you can save the $130, and just not slurp.

Instant ramen titan Nissin is releasing a limited-edition fork that can detect the sound of noodle slurping and trigger a nearby smartphone to play a recording to mask the food noises. This little device costs around $130, and the Cup Noodle maker is only manufacturing 5,000 of them

I can't remember the last time I ate ANY kind of ramen product...so their product is wasted on me.

I've never understood how anyone could eat that crap.

Forget instant ramen, go to a reputable Japanese ramen shop. It's out of this world. The pork bone broths take 10 hours plus to make. That's a lot of love going in to making that broth full of layered flavors.

I'm pretty cool with instant ramen. It makes an alright quick snack, and is almost free.

I feel like this idea wouldn't make it on Shark Tank.

Hmm... so a wave crashing or toilet flushing will mask slurps. Got it.

You are supposed to slurp and make noise. It's polite.
