less thank 24hrs after i wrote this post about how the mothership asked for the mother energy drink, the fabulous darcie from zing told me shed send me some cans in the mail
6 cans of awesomeness! ‘new! completely reformulated!’ the can exclaims. and it is. the old mother tasted shockingly horrible but the new mother tastes like a cross between red bull and v mmm citrusy! the can is a tad on the large size with the back of the can reading: “best drunk freeze your nuts off cold” and “our lame legal guys made us warn you not to feed this to kids, up the duff women or the weak who just cant tolerate it” lol one can of mother is pretty much double the size of all the other energy drinks on the market
4 days later and something else arrives on my doorstep…
more babies! a whole slab of babies!
mmm ill show you some lovin’
and a nod to mooiness who is another mother lover heh thanks again darcie!

Menya Godzilla Challenge, Haymarket
Menya (Shop TG8, 8 Quay Street, Haymarket) is home to the giant bowls of ramen and to the famed godzilla challege.
Edit: Menya no longer does this challenge Menya (Shop TG8, 8 Quay Street, Haymarket) is home to the giant bowls of ramen and to the famed godzilla challege. the boy has been psyched the past month having mini challenges of 2x menya ramen in 15mins for lunch and then feeling nauseous haha
over four times the portion of a menya ramen- over 2kgs the sign exclaims and all for the low low price of $29.90! if you finish the bowl in under 30mins it is free and youve earnt a photo on the wall of fame
the boys line up glasses of water in anticipation. wally was the only challenger game enough to attempt the godzilla with noods. funnily enough they asked the boys to move to the table by the wall i think in case we ate their food lol
and heres the giant bowl of noodles! they opted for the soy based soup over the tonkotsu because they knew that even tho the fatty tonkotsu soup was tastier it was definitely more salty and more filling than the soy based
noods looking slightly scared
the bowl is bigger than his head…
the boys before they begin. they didnt start right away and waited for the noodles to cool down a bit before the waitress started timing them
cleverly they both asked for bowls (at which the waitress replied with ok but you cant share) and noods seemed to have much fun making a mess and dumping out the noodles into the smaller bowls before it could absorb the soup
the supporters cheering them along
fiona and i run outside and snap some fotos of them from the window above
but oh no wally is first to crack!
and noods is struggling
noooooo
lol sadly wally is a massive fail with what looks like half the godzilla bowl of ramen left
and noods we declare an awesome fail with just one bowl of ramen left
the laminated warning they had to read before attempting the challenge- “please stop eating if you are experiencing dizziness or nausea. If you do, please let the staff know straight away. We take no responsibility for any adverse health effects that results from consuming this product” haha they wont be attempting the challenge for a while but theres always next time… and other restaurants =P
