NATIONWIDE SEARCH FOR `AMERICA'S FUNNIEST NOODLE'

CAMDEN, N.J. (Wireless Flash) -- A new photo contest is bringing new meaning to the term "using your noodle." The Campbell's Soup Company is asking Americans to send in photos of soup noodles in wacky situations. The person with the nuttiest noodle photo will $10,000 and an all-expense paid trip to New York for New Year's Eve, where the winning noodle photo will be repeatedly flashed on the Times Square Astrovision Screen. A Campbell's spokesperson says the wacky noodle photos can be gross -- such as a person slurping the same noodle as their dog or sticking a noodle up their nose. However, "crude and disgusting" photos showing soup noodles in X-rated situations probably won't please the judges. Deadline for entry is November 15, 1999.
