Ramen
I've eaten a lot of Ramen Noodles in my day. Back when I was in college (more acurately, when I was of college age and my friends and housmates were in college and I was working at a supermarket making a whisker over minimum wage and smoking a whoooole lot of weed) I ate Ramen pretty much everyday. Several times. Or so. I mean, they were literally like a nickel a pack. I still eat them today, which is a long time past college age, though the price has skyrocketed to nearly a dime a pack if you watch for sales on the big multi-pack. Whenever I'm in a hurry and don't have leftovers from the night before to bring for lunch it's a quick trip to the pantry on my way out the door for a pack of good ol' Maruchan. In fact I've eaten them the last two days. Why do I mention all of this? Because I'm still not sick of them. Except the shrimp flavor. That shit's nasty. That's all I wanted to say.

I couldn't agree more. Especially about the shrimp flavored noodles, yuck! Actually, I only eat the chicken flavored ones. Ramen noodles, why do you taste so fucking good.
Yuck. Shrimp ramen? *shudder* Now, chicken ramen, that's good stuff. I think it's all the salt that makes them so irresistible.
Being someone who was of college age and smoking a whoooooole lot of weed in here day as well (stop pretending this is news.) Yet I was able to somehow hold down a Corporate America job, Ramen with some chicken or veggies thrown in and eaten from a big bowl, man that was the for-shizzy! A month's worth of food for five bucks! Cha-ching! More money for the bars.
...why did I ever stop eating them?
...Oh, yeah. I looked at the sodium content one day and decided that was why I hadn't pee'd in days.
I never liked Ramen noodles. Too salty. Also I never smoked that much weed, which might have something to do with it. The alcohol makes you pass out before you can tear open a package.
Sweet, sweet alcohol.
Whenever I eat the Oriental flavor Ramen I always say, "Made with bits of real Orientals!"
(shakes head)
So wrong.
Funny.
But that's not the point.
Ramen can't be better than Mr. Noodles.
Mr. Noodles? There's a Ramen rip-off? Who'd have thought there was room in the economy for more than one 10 cent meal?
