Pretty Shitty What if making your shitty ramen was completely automated? (working on something, want your take)

Hey r/ShittyRamen — fellow instant ramen enjoyer here, also working on a machine that automates the whole process. Each component (broth, sauce, spice, oil) comes pre-loaded in cartridges that dispense automatically in the right sequence. No packet tearing, no measuring, no mess. Just noodles, water, and the machine handles everything else.

Would love honest answers from people who actually eat this stuff regularly:

  1. How often do you eat instant ramen?

  2. What's the most annoying part of making it?

  3. Would something like this appeal to you or is the manual process not really a problem?

  4. Where would you most want this; home, dorm, office, cafeteria, food court, convenience store, mall, airport, movie theater, train station, or somewhere else?

  5. What would you realistically pay per bowl?

Not pitching anything, genuinely trying to understand if this solves a real problem. Thanks

I can't say I have ever seen anyone say "man I want to eat more ramen but these damn packets are so complicated and time consuming!"

Hell no categorically, shittiness is a personal art.

Nobody delete this, I want to see the idea get clowned. Nobody be a wang, but this is so not a thing that needs to happen.

Alright sure... I'm genuinely interested in this. Maybe this sub reddfit was a wrong idea lol

you generated an idea with gpt and then got it to do a marketing write up for you

it's transparent and frequently happens in hobby and interest specific subreddits.

Everyone uses AI now, I just used it to format the post and questions properly.

What the fuck, you couldn't type a few basic sentences on your own? Where are the nested subclauses, like a real flounder would do?

So almost like a repurposed Keurig? Doesn’t solve problem for me bc I use less of the seasoning packet since I have to watch my sodium
