At the end of one of the Terminator films, Arnie drops
himself into a tank of molten liquid and is totally
absorbed. This is the principle behind Terminator Soup.
Most dried soups take the form of either a packet of
loose material, a tube of paste that has to squeezed out
or a type of solidified
cube.
Terminator Soup takes the form of a small figure made
from compressed, dried vegetables and spices bound
together by ramen noodles. To make the soup, all that's
required is to drop or lower the Terminator figure into a
pot of boiling water and either allow it to gradually
disintegrate or encourage the process by breaking it
apart with a wooden spoon.
With sufficient compression, the right combination of
ingredients along with their binding agents, a good
amount of detail should be possible to generate in the
Terminator figure.
Other soup generator figures are under development,
but no one compares to Arnie.
(?) Another soup to add to the menu

Customer: "Waiter, waiter, there's a malevolent cyborg in my soup... HEY ! Where are you going ?" |
|
| |
...just like the cook will need to lower him into the pot. |
|
| |
A frozen figurine would be 'cooler'. |

At the end
of (I think) the first Terminator film, the
terminator is crushed in a big press so, in the same
series of convenience foods as this Terminator Soup,
there should be a Terminator Pop-Tart which you
prepare by crushing the terminator-shaped Pop-Tart
between the closing jaws of your sandwich toaster. |
|
| |
Indeed there should be.... I had also considered Soup Depth Charges that get hurled in from a miniature launcher and "explode" in slow motion when they hit the bottom of the boiling water as a miniature submarine circles to stir the contents. |
|
| |
But there aren't any depth charges in the Terminator
films. That would have to be marketed as "Das Boot
Soup!™" |
|
| |
Can we get a T1000 model that thrashes around as
it melts? Maybe some inner tension is relieved as
material melts away. |
|
| |
Ramen noodles have a degree of "springyness" so it may be possible to encourage a controlled rapid expansion that creates movement. |
|
| |
Actually, "Titanic Soup™" would be marketable - i.e.
a compressed mass of noodles and flavourings in the
shape of the Titanic, which you launch into hot
water. |
|
| |
... with icebergs floating in it ? |
|
| |
Yes, you could make slowly-dissolving 'icebergs' out
of chicken stock, which (usually) solidifies at room
temperature |
|
| |
Technically, this is Terminator 2 soup. |
|
| |
//Soup Depth Charges that get hurled in from a miniature launcher and "explode"// Great for pranking dinner parties! |
|
| |
You could have soup battleships, each diner has a battleship made of bread with a gun that fires dried lentils, they can float and shoot at the other diners' ships. |
|
| |
The mess would be indescribable... |
|
| |
It should be implemented immediately. |
|
| |
// marketed as "Das Boot Soup!™" // |
|
| |
or as "The Cruel Soup", depending on one's POV. |
|
| |
He was better in "Zulu". Bennet was a bit of a caricature and a waste of his considerable talent. |
|
| |
Ramen noodles, hmmm... wavy tentacle things... |
|
| |
What about a "Cthulhu Soup" variant ? Clever marketing phrase, "Usually, you eat the soup; this time the soup eats you... " |
|
| |
Then there's the "Great White Shark" version, subtitled "You're going to need a bigger bowl" ... |
|
| |
//"The Cruel Soup", depending on one's POV.// |
|
| |
maybe a tanker could sink and disgorge a flammable
substance? |
|
| |
This demands an addition to the water, perhaps tomato
based, that makes it opaque and red. |
|
| |
Really a souper idea. I went pasta lot of less worthy ones.
Really using your noodle. My own ideas are sobad compared
to this. This easily makes it onto the list of t 1000 best ideas
ever had. |
|

//Technically, this is Terminator 2 soup// |
|
| |
Brilliant. to, 2, interesting which way round you chose. I'd would have stuck in an a. |
|
| |
I agree. This is brilliant. I would buy it just to play with on a
chilly fall Sunday. Do it...Sir xenzag. |
|
| |
Very kind to say, but I have a lot of ongoing
projects. The bakery is only a fractional diversion. |
