The science of slurping

If you’re a big noodle eater like me, or know those that eat noodles, you most likely are familiar with the noise and practice of slurping noodles. While some take it as being ‘rude’, slurping noodles is a means of cooling down very hot noodles so that they may be enjoyed immediately, not in several minutes.
