"      There&amp;#039;s a right and a wrong way to eat everything. However \u2014 for the 90-second span of this Korean ad \u2014 let&amp;#039;s throw etiquette out the window and just enjoy how it proves us that the consumption of ramen noodles can be a profoundly testosterone-fueled practice. Thanks to this, college students around the world, Japanese businessmen (for whom ramen joints are apparently power restaurants), and Japan in general (where the average citizen eats 40 bowls a year), all know the how to best enjoy their bowl of delicious, cheap, salty, stringy wheat. Sure, some would call noodles unhealthy, but they&amp;#039;re also quick-to-make, have fed astronauts, Cup Noodles founder Momofuku Ando has his own fake holiday in Texas (given to him by healthcare workers, of all people), and they&amp;#039;ve have been elevated into something of an Asian-American delicacy in their own right in the last few years. So if that history, and Leonard Cohen&amp;#039;s singing voice, and the slow-motion remainder of this ad (which appears to star the Most Interesting Man in the World&amp;#039;s Korean brother-in-law) aren&amp;#039;t enough to convince you, luckily, a little movie called The Ramen Girl came out in 2008. It starred Brittany Murphy in a totally-perfect-for-Brittany-Murphy role, and reaffirms the importance of properly cooking and eating these ramen with all the trimmings. Here&amp;#039;s the scene where a Japanese ramen master attempts to explain to Ms. Murphy how to prepare a bowl. Language barriers and all.
