'Top Ramen' joke in 5...4...3...2...

Hey, in college I was so broke I used to eat "Medium Ramen."

>>>I had a friend in college who, when stoned, would sprinkle the uncooked ramen noodle block with the dry seasoning mix, then place it between two slices of white bread and eat it.>>>

I have never been stoned enough to do that!

...the 50cm-long, yellow strands were found in a pot that had probably been buried during a catastrophic flood.

Strangely, five boxes of Shurefine Mac & Cheese, an empty twelve pack of Red White & Blue and three Totino's Pizzas were also found at the site.

Got to admit- I never tried eating the raw Ramen block. It'd be like eating a seasoned furnace air filter.



I'm intrigued.

"Hey, that looks like what i was served last night in my favorite Chinese restaurant!"


Actually at first glance they looked to me like ebola germs under the microscope.

Then I got to thinking just what IS going to be forever preserved in the mud of New Orleans to amaze Freepers thousands of years from now?

We did the same without the bread. We were just binge drinkers though, left the wacky tabacy to the dudes down the hall.

Goes down pretty easy with a can of Natural Light or da Beast. Makes the beer taste better too.
