In a recent study done in Sim City it was discovered that sims who cooked ramen noodles in the microwave had a 75% increase in fires than sims that did not. There are currently three theories. The first theory on faulty microwaves was thrown out because it only happens when cooking ramen noodles. The second theory is that ramen noodles are highly flammable. The third theory brings into question the ability of sims to properly prepare ramen noodles.
Dr. Vermicelli, who is heading up the study, tells us “It’s not that hard to cook ramen noodles, so I am having a hard time believing that is the cause. However, we have mailed out IQ tests to everyone in Sim City and the surrounding suburbs. Hopefully we will get enough of them back to rule out general stupidity.”
There has been some concern with other scientists around Sim City Labs about mailing out the IQ tests and allowing sims to take them at home. They are concerned that people will use the internet to look up the answers. Dr. Vermicelli has taken this into serious consideration. “If someone is too inept to cook ramen noodles, they aren’t intelligent enough to think of looking up the answers. It’s a non-issue.”
Where does this leave the ramen noodles? Are they that flammable? “It’s not the noodles themselves are flammable, it’s the broth.” Dr. Vermicelli explained. “We identified four ingredients that were not listed on the package, despite FDA regulations. One of those ingredients we…I mean I…believe came from the alien space craft wreckage. When we originally investigated it we found traces of the same substance. Ramen noodles are tasty but I seriously doubt that they are that universal.”
Is it possible that ramen noodles aren’t really from China as originally documented? Could they be space food? Dr. Vermicelli didn’t have an answer. “There have been UFO sightings and abductions for hundreds of years in Sim City, anything is possible.”
