Default What's the :ramen:-smiley saying?

I was just curious as to what this smiley () is saying? I think it says "churu churu" in Japanese, but I can't find what it means.... Anyone know?

Well to me it means that you enjoying eating or its a symbol of you eating. When people see that they assume you enjoy eating something.
As for real meaning of it I don't know I just thought it ment enjoyment of eating.

Yeah my meaning is probably wrong anyway. Slurp is right probably.

IT'S SAYING: I'LL EAT YOU LIKE A BOWL OF NOODLES
: ramen:

For some reason it doesn't like putting a bunch of those in a row, and is making one appear as ramen hahha... oh well.

i think it's because there's a space in there for some reason...

It's easier to put a space in between each smiley. i.e:

Even without ample knowledge of Japanese, churu churu in this context can't mean anything except for the slurping sound you make while really sucking that ramen into you, which is evidently considered as good table manners in Japan.

Spank me if I'm wrong... and maybe even if I'm not?
