The packaging reminded me of the old movie gag where the protagonist is introduced to a foreign diplomat and her translator. The diplomat prattles on for several minutes in some remote language and her translator finally says “She say, hello.”
I don’t understand Chinese, but I suspect it doesn’t take 41 Asian logograms to communicate the only English words on the package: “Soy Sauce Flavor” and “Ippei-Chan Japanese style soup noodles.”

Dear Fellow Parents Planning Birthday Parties:
For several years, my younger daughter has been invited annually to a friend’s birthday party at The Four Seasons. The one on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, just to be clear. One year the invitation was an inscribed blue ball, approximately one foot in diameter, with the stamps slapped right on it. I still can’t believe the post office delivered it. They must have mistaken it for junk mail, the only thing that reliably makes it to our mailbox. Of course, the ball didn’t fit in the mailbox; we found it on the front steps.
Anyway, every year a big group of giggling girls takes over the hotel’s restaurant before moving on to the Four Seasons pool, eventually hopping into Gold Coast horse carriages and returning for a slumber party in a Four Seasons suite. The contents of the goody bag are inevitably worth more than my iPod mini and all the music downloaded onto it.

SONG OF MY CELL PHONE
I celebrate My cell phone,
Which sings To me, assuming
All that I assume, propagating the infernal productions
Of my
Presumption. Like: mine flops out Like a Star Trekā¢ Communicator!
