Noodle Goo!

What better way to warm yourself on a cold Tokyo day than with Noodle Goo! I did, and I bitterly regret leaving 100 yen + tax at Daiso in the attempt. The darn things weren't even gooey.

Noodle Goo!

Noodle Goo! The finished meal. 

From a company which has the temerity to call itself Acecook Co. Ltd.

I myself normally won't even go near a thing that proudly advertised itself as a goo.

Neither would I, but I feel it is my duty to warn any of my readers who may feel the temptation.

Bet that'd go over big in Berlin, though: they really like their gooey noodles here: they call it Chinapfanne!

Ah, Chinapfanne. I'm afraid these noodles just don't have the grease to make the grade.

Seriously, I'm slightly baffled as to what this "goo" here is derived from. The Japanese transcription (ヌードルグー, nûdoru gû) indicates it's not anything to do with the word "go", and "gû" doesn't have any particular meaning in Japanese.
