I love that story. I'd hate to see that man being offered a box of Girl Scout cookies.
Hey, I just had another idea for cheap, starchy foods: Ramen! Lots and lots of dried out, 3-for-a-dollar, lice-infested, dusty cellophane bags of RAMEN!

The really gross thing about ramen is those disgusting packets of dry flavoring you're supposed to add to the noodles after you've boiled them from their original stiff brick shape into a tasteless, starchy mass of noodle.
What is your favorite flavor of ramen?
