Shirttail noodles are ok. I don't love them but I might have them once or twice a year. They're pretty bland and I haven't found a really great sauce to pair with them. They're worth a try but they're not amazing.

I tried them once... too expensive to be worth buying for me! I'd prefer to spend my money on something that yes has some calories but also some nutrition and will give me some actual energy. If money wasn't an option maybe I'd buy them more often (could eat more pasta theoretically lol) but they aren't practical for me

Definitely need some sort of sauce or at least seasoning - don't have any taste to them. Also more squishy than your regular noodle lol. 

I think they're good to add bulk/texture to something that already has a certain flavor, but they're not a good idea if you actually want a noodle taste. I think they go great with some soy sauce and vegetables, but not really as a sub for things like cheese or pesto pasta.

Lovelovelove them! Except not miracle, but just plain konjac noodles. Miracle noodles have tofu, right? But then again, I'm Asian-mix and grew up eating Asian foods, so the texture doesn't irk me like it does some people. I have it every night unless I'm eating "rice" or something.

They are gross and they smell DISGUSTING...it felt like I was eating something that I wasn't supposed to

This.

I think they're way too expensive anyway. Do you really want to spend $10 on a total of 50 calories that have no nutrition whatsoever, or would you like to spend that $10 on a nice piece of steak and a side of roasted vegetables with lots of important vitamins and minerals that keep your body healthy?

I thought they were gross.  I just eat whole wheat noodles.

They are amazing! My fridge is stocked! You don't need the miracle noodle brand. There are plenty of others and they are very inexpensive! One pack is $1.99. Check out asiangrocer.com. Yes, they smell but rinse and boil. Yes, they are bland but toss them with some low cal sauce or veggies and it's a great alternative if you struggle with carbs. I do and it's the perfect fix for me. Try tossing with some cottage cheese salt pepper and few drops of sesame oil. YUM

My point exactly. $1.99 for 10 calories and none of its own delicious taste? Not that I dislike them; I like a Japanese shirataki dish if made correctly. But I'd rather eat something that tastes a lot better and is actually nutritious for $1.99, thank you very much...

Jeez it's only shirataki noodles and this is a forum to help people cut calories. Share your opinion and move on. You didn't have to "trump" my opinion.

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
