Last Entry for the Weekend: Stuff I DIDN'T Enjoy

As the title says, I'm reviewing stuff that I had lying around. In fact, I think I'll start with something I just got today.

From SaSa dot com I present...

The Hadatuko Slimming Noodles in Chicken!

I hate to say, I had some high hopes for this. I don't understand the calorie count (It says 49 kcal, but that's nearly 4900 calories. Hopefully it's a translation problem), but I love any chicken-flavored food. When I got these noodles, I was scared... I was expecting dry noodles and a seasoning packet, but instead, I got a bag of squishy-ness. Turns out, the noodles are in a plastic bag within the outer bag, and are already wet and slippery. Of course, there's a packet of seasoning included.

Anyway, here are the instructions:

1. Heat the noodles by soaking them in hot water.

2. Mix the seasoning powder into another bowl of hot water

3. Remove the noodles from the hot water and drain well. Put the noodles into the seasoning soup and mix well. Your delicious noodles are ready to serve!

Here's what I did:

1. Put water in a pot on the stove and heated

2. Added noodles

3. While that heated, I placed a small bowl of water in the microwave

4. When the noodles and the water were done, I mixed in the seasoning and threw in the noodles

Then I ate it.

Honestly? I'm not impressed. The noodles are bleach-white, and look a little strange. Then, the noodles didn't pick up much of the seasoning's flavors (Or maybe they weren't that good anyway). I didn't really enjoy these noodles. I'll post pictures next time I try it; I got Braised Beef and Chicken. I'll probably cook Braised Beef next week, so look out for it in my blog.

Next up, I have a hair styling tool that some people seem to love, but I just can't help but get mad at.

Lucky Loose Curlers

Lucky is the brand name. Now, I understand the concept; put your hair in the waved foam curler, roll it up, and then slip the end of the curler into the round hole. However, with my hair... it never seems to stay in place. Here's a picture of the kind I bought:

If you look, mine is bent out of shape and the hole at the end is wide open. I used these maybe... twice? Not sure. They didn't stay, and they didn't give the best results, not to mention the fact that they kept tearing and breaking. I wound up throwing them out, I just couldn't stand waking up to messy half-curled, half-straight hair that was frizzy and just plain bad. 

Again, I understand the concept. There's a youtube video that shows the same basic thing, but with fabric instead of foam. 

Anyway, I think this is enough for today (I know, two whole things! That's a lot... right?) I'll be back next week. Bye! (Oh, and it's official... I think I have two followers! Rarely have I been so happy)
