Is this Serious? Noodle Baths…

Is it April Fools Day in Japan today? If not, apparently you can take a “noodle bath”, which is “good for the health as its ingredients help improve the bather’s metabolism and also helps cleansing the skin.” Call me skeptical, but I’m guessing that MSG isn’t that good for your skin, but maybe all the salt does something for you.

    Hmmm…I can think of far worse ways to spend time than bathing in noodles. Also allows for multitasking – you can snack and cleanse your skin at the same time.
    As for the whole MSG question, seems I have seen salt scrubs before so maybe there is some benefit to it.

    If it has to do with salt then just go hang out in the ocean!

    ummmm…
    i kinda doubt they would add MSG.
    although its a cheap way to flavor,
    i dont think they expect people to eat/drink
    any of it. so i dont see the point in them adding MSG
