“Ramen” while being a specific food is also colloquially used to refer to “inexpensive food” as a package of ramen is about 10 cents. The above comment was not an advertisement for “Maruchan® Brand Instant Ramen Noodles available in many delicious flavours.”

And bananas are $10.
Ramen hasn’t been 10 cents in decades.

They’re around 30 cents. Specific amounts don’t really matter.

I’ll check when I get to the store today, but “decades” is definitely wrong, unless you mean the 8packs (I was talking about singles). Or you’re getting the yakisobas or cup noods that cost more than the packs, or sapporo ichiban which I have to go to a special store for as it is an import and that is about $1.50 a pack (but that chow mein is worth it, that shit is so good.) Bananas are cool too.

Wait, did I put a gun to your head and force you to eat ramen and I missed it? Tf are we doing here lmao this is the dumbest “debate” I’ve ever had. I’ll say again “the ramen was a metaphor my dude, it ain’t that deep.”

It doesn’t matter. You guys are all being idiots and arguing about dumb shit.

If you don’t know how to cook food for yourself I highly recommend learning today. Eggs for example are cheaper and cook in less time than ramen.

The really good noodles are far more than 10 cents a pack of course, but if you can afford it the dollar-a-pack ones are much better. It’s still a dollar for a meal pretty much, so not bad.

I recommend the Mi Goreng noodles by Indomie if you want really good ones. They make halal ramen in Indonesia that beats everybody else or at least ties evenly with Sapporo Ichiban and Nongshim. You can get a 30-pack for $20 to $30 online

Maruchan Ramen Chicken, Pack of 24, for $7.36 on Amazon. That’s literally $0.30/pack (or $0.10/oz). https://a.co/d/gr4Ft9F

Just throwing out there that ramen is indeed dirt cheap still.

You’re stuck on details that don’t matter. Ramen is not worth buying no matter how cheap it is.

But whatever. I give up. Be annoying.
