    Now imagine that you have one continuous path through your digestive system starting from your mouth and ending out your butt, so if you have a noodle long enough and had a way of getting it through your body without breaking it, you could in theory floss yourself with a single noodle. Just hold one end in the right hand and the other in the left hand and go back and forth.

    The mind truly is an inescapable force. Wow.

      I recently found out about Yard Long Beans… a green bean 3 feet long? Blew my mind, or whatever was left of it.

      Huh, so I will go to the gigantic Chinese grocery store near my house and inquire about this. Long noodle : Propserity

              the canned ones? Or your mom made a weird casserole? (Hot Dish sorry, if you’re in Minnesota). It’s so different. I haven;’ tried the 3 foot long beans yet, but regular green bean cooked fresh - it’;s really diferent! The canned ones are mushy and weird. They’re like, okays! But REAL green bean is pretty good. They can be toothy. They can be chewy. They can be… anything you want.

                  boil them longer! tastes like water and bean fiber, which tastes like uh… anti-bean. Negates all bean.

        Despite the common name of “yardlong”, the pods are actually only about half a yard long, so the subspecies name sesquipedalis (one-and-a-half-foot-long; 1.5 feet (0.50 yd)) is a more accurate approximation.

    The face I made when reading this was one of disgust, but honestly I have no reason for that other then knowing it just one long noodle which somehow makes me uncomfortable. Honestly, don’t know why.

    That was what I’ve wanted all spaghetti to be ever since I saw it in cartoons as a kid. And yet I’m always disappointed.

    This is a clickbait YouTube video waiting to happen. And now I really want to see it to find out all the logistical issues they’d have to go through to make, cook, and eat a single noodle long enough to reasonably be considered a single plate full of spaghetti.
