Throwing Noodles, is it Worth it?

[KosmicKhaos]

So, I've been watching some week one matches and it didn't take me long to realize that throwing noodles is a very viable game strategy. At first many teams (including I) thought the noodles were too flimsy to throw and wont go far, essentially rendering them useless unless you put them in a container, but now I'm seeing noodles actually fly clear to the other side. In many cases teams are scoring far more in noodle points than in anything else. I know my team was originally planing on to not even touch the noodles, but now I'm reconsidering seeing how many teams are scoring big on noodles. What do you guys think.
