How to Prepare Ottogi Heart Signal Cheese-ghetti Instant Noodles

Ottogi Heart Signal Cheese-ghetti Instant Noodles are a product dedicated straight from the heart to the popular TV show, Heart Signal. I can’t say I’ve ever watched the show or I ever will after hearing about it, but I heard it is very popular with the romantic twenty-some year old crowd. Apparently it’s a type of game show where you can either choose love in the form of a new partner or choose money..? Ugh… when I hear about things like this, I really wonder if humanity is going to make it through the next century or not. Anyways, this old, cynical man will try to keep an open mind about how the younger generation does things. Maybe I can develop some type of connection with the them by consuming this cup of ramen? It’s worth a try I guess! I’ll pretty much try anything once, even if it will most likely kill me. Well, let’s get this apocalyptic party started then!

A rather complicated cup of noodles to prepare today. I’m exhausted! I just hope the flavor is worth all the extra steps needed to make this cup of instant noodles… We’ll see about that tomorrow, but I think… I feel something… I might be changing inside… JUST KIDDING!

So, are you a fan of the cheap carnival and movie theater cheese? Do you love the taste of artificial cheese? Also, if someone out there can fill me in on this crazy TV show, let me know down in the comments below!
