Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I went low carb a month ago and was craving noodles. The internet, magical wonderland of good suggestions that it is, collectively informed that shirataki noodles were a viable option for replacing the carb-y goodness that I was so longing for. Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. No noodle should ever be as disgusting as this. It is a sin. The smell upon opening the package is akin to sniffing a stagnant swamp. That should have been enough to keep me from trying them, but I ventured on and gave them a chance. I made Pad Thai. I followed the instructions for the noodle package. Rinse, boil, dry, and then prepare as recipes suggest. My meal looked delicious. "Hello noodles, oh how I've missed you!", I thought to myself. I took a bite. The flavor of my meal was great. And then, I tried to chew. NOPE. The texture was like chewing on rubber bands. Each time I tried to bite down, the noodles sprung back together. What was this sorcery? Why wouldn't it just stay chewed?! Noodles shouldn't put up so much of a fight. I couldn't finish my meal. I was left feeling hungry and disappointed. I felt betrayed. I wouldn't suggest trying these unless you like the look of intestinal parasites, the smell of swamp, and the feeling that you're chomping on a never ending supply of rubber bands..
