In "the old days" many Field Exercises in the army involved heating this stuff up in a canteen cup (with lots of Tabasco). Nice way to warm up!

And just in time, Swedes offer freeze-dry burials.

No word yet if Mr. Ando will be buried with a tinfoil spice packet.

My husband (then boyfriend at the time) proposed to me the day I returned from the local BJs Wholesaler with three pallets of Ramen Noodle (Chicken and Shrimp flavor) for him. He was living on a very limited budget, and Ramen was the staple of his diet.

Used to LOVE this stuff when I was a young lass myself, but sadly, the high sodium, high fat food groups no longer work for me. Back when I had the metabolism for them, I used to LOVE throwing a slab of velveeta in the noodle, hot water mix as it was "cooking". By the time the soup was suitably softened, the cheese had added another layer of sodium and goo. OH MAN! Couple that with a Cherry Coke, and them's good eating!

When I was an undergraduate the local grocery had Top Ramen at ten packages for a dollar. I was so broke I asked the guy what he was charging for Medium Ramen.

The noodles can sustain life if the flavor packet is discarded unopened.

My grad-school food groups consisted of beer, Ramen noodles, Pop-Tarts, and Funyuns. In that order.

I've always wondered why the Vatican hasn't capitalized on the idea and freeze-dries the Communion pack.

When we PCS'd back in late 1964 from three years in Japan with the USAF, we shipped a case of Chicken Ramen and a gallon of Kikkoman Shoyu (soy sauce) back with our household goods.

When we started running out, we searched all over Houston -- and finally found them at Pier One Imports. It was several years before the items began showing up in grocery stores -- and the Kikkoman was watered-down... (And Pier One was into selling junky furniture and "dust-collectors"...)

Every time I cook up a batch of "China-soba", (aka "Ramen") my granddaughters are lined up -- waiting for their share.

Ando-san provided quite a service to humanity, I'd say.

My cupboard's always well-stocked with several varieties of Top Ramen. In summertime, I might eat the cooked noodles cold or add them to salad.

Can't beat the broth on a cold day, especially if you have a cold or touch of flu. Top Ramen makes a great breakfast too.

I have sent hundreds of packages of ramen and Cup Noodles to our troops deployed in OIF and OEF, as one of the top requested items.

Imagine my surprise to find the guys were crunching on these raw when they went far forward on missions.

RIP for a benefactor to mankind. Retired at 95 and dead only a year later. Retirement'll killya.

A case of the stuff should be in every house's emergency supplies.

This stuff is out and out junk. White flour with plenty of MSG and preservatives and polysyllabic additives. Enjoy!
