> "Mankind is noodlekind"" What does it mean? Who knows. But it sounds delicious.

Eh, it's a daggy Japanese pun. Noodles in Japan is men (麺), "mankind" romanizes as mankaindo (マンカインド), mash 'em together and you get "menkind" (麺カインド menkaindo), "noodlekind".



It's an Oyaji joke for sure. I had an old Japanese professor in college tell a story about how sick he felt of eating so much Korean food. "Kimuchi ga warui"
