    Daahlink Tg - I lived in Japan for a year, but my daily ration of the original 'Soba' noodles was a bit different from a cup of soup..! Happy New Year Old Bud! jk.in.l.a.

    Honestly, Tiffany Gordon, you captured that "torrid and yummy" vibe so well in just a few lines. Good luck with the challenge! 🎈🙌

    💖You brought such sophistication to those two cups of noodles! With your choice of diction like torrid, it is another word I could wear on a brooch on my imaginary college attire. 💖 💖I could easily see this as a meal at a five-star restaurant, even if that restaurant is a college, lol! Your transferred epithet in “steamed collegic nostalgia” was delightful. 💖

  • Lamar Wiggins20 days ago

    Ha! I used to be a connoisseur and even made spaghetti and meatballs using it as the noodle part, lol. Nice entry, Tiffa! 🤩

  • Mmm 😋🥰

    So great. I make some torrid ramen myself - I add kimchi, green onions, cilantro, and a little garlic salt because.....salt. I will spare you my torrid collegiate nostalgia recipe.... Really great and funny work!

  • Ha ha gotta love a pot noodle. Brilliantly captured the feeling

  • Aarsh Malik21 days ago

    Short, sweet and deliciously relatable. Makes me want a cup of noodles right now.

  • Oh my goodness!!! This haiku is genius! It has an iconic product, nostalgia, controversy, and humor. How in the world did you fit that into three little lines? Wonderful work dear cousin Tiffany!

  • Antoni De'Leon22 days ago

    Ugh! Noodles o memory. Um-healthy not so much but so yummy. Warm and fills the gap.

    Both my son and daughter consistently consume soba noodles. Just wish they were in biodegradable packaging... A fond haiku memory!

    College completely ruined these for me. I ate way too many back then.
