Instant noodles BANNED!

[Randy W]

. . . on the high-speed trains for the New Years holiday

 

Ah, the joys of Chinese Lunar New Year train travel: smelly instant noodles, cheesy feet and noisy children

Ban imposed on sale of noodles on all mainland high-speed trains as millions start to travel home before Year of the Monkey starts on February 8

 

 

Instant pot noodles – the staple diet of millions of Chinese travellers – have been banned from being sold on the nation’s high-speed trains during the Chinese Lunar New Year because of complaints about the stink they create, mainland media reports.

However, the official move will not lead to fresher air on board: people will still be permitted to eat them on if they bring them onto trains themselves.

"Carriages on high-speed rails have no ventilation and pouring hot water onto instant noodles releases strong smells, said Huang Xin, an operations official at the state-owned China Railway, told state media on Sunday

“It is not good for the air quality inside the trains and for passengers’ overall comfort.”

Food sold on mainland trains is widely regarded as expensive and of poor quality.

I have to break out in a belly laugh. So many other dishes, like ancient Tofu, smell worse than a set of socks that have been through 5 days of the jungle. And they still eat it.

 

Haha.
