a small house and the prizes are larger than you are.

If you are a fan of Instant noodle, perhaps you know this year is the 40th anniversary
of Nissin Foods. Apart from opening a new Instant noodle museum, Nissis
together with Japan’s Vstone robotics developed this sick Cup Noodle Robotimer
which could transform into real robot. Thanks Johann for sharing.
Not sure if you’ll be able to get the Cup Noodle Robotimer outside of Japan
any time soon. Apparently, these are being sold under some sort of a lottery
system and only with proof of noodle purchase.
