Spicy Noodle Challenge

Who doesn't love ramen? Whether it's a restaurant-style bowl topped with delicious fillings, or a quick, simple meal in the middle of the night, ramen is one of Asia's most beloved exports. It's perfect on it's own, piled high with veggies (and meat), or just with a boiled or fried egg. Naturally, we at AFI could not think of a better food to help unite communities and show support for AAPI communities during a time when AAPIs are facing a drastic increase in hate incidents. So, let's all meet at the table, sofa, bed, over the kitchen counter, or wherever you eat your ramen and share a big bowl of noodles together.

Here's the challenge:

In the spirit of other viral challenges, we wanted to make this as accessible as possible so that everyone can join in and help out a great cause. This is what you'll need:
- A pack of spicy ramen as hot as you can take. We'll be using Samyang Buldak, which are a Korean-style "dry" (no soup) ramyun.
- A timer. Set your timers for 60 seconds. This is how long you will have to eat your ramen.
- 3-5 friends to nominate for the next round of the challenge.
- A donation of any amount ( suggested $ 5+ ) to this GoFundMe.
