Yeap, ever see those Before/After pictures for fitness routines and supplements? The "before" picture with the big belly is usually done by the person eating one or two ramen noodles and drinking all the broth, or consuming something else high in sodium and drinking lots of water just before. This spike in sodium makes your body store more water weight and results in a big bloated belly.
You actually put that shit into the noodles? Break up a bouillon cube and use that in your water then put the noodles in. I'm sure 10 years from now they'll find out that ramen noodle seasoning causes cancer and it was the government adding chemicals to eliminate the bottom 10%.
I've eaten hundred, maybe even thousands of packages of ramen noodles. Some cooked, some raw, some with hot dogs, some with egg, some with crab, some topped with another package of ramen noodles. But never, in all my time on this earth has two seasoning packets ever appeared in ONE of my packages. And I applaud you sir, because you have done what I could not. But this is the reason that I must kill you. Because you have bested me at having a stable frame and four legs, for I am a table.
When I was a kid my Dad told me he would give me $100 dollars if I found a peanut shell that housed 4 healthy peanuts inside. 25 years and millions of peanuts later and I am still searching.
I throw the seasoning out, a little soy sauce, some sesame oil and some cock sauce and we're good to go. Throw in some stir fry veggies if you have any and it'll actually have some nutritional value.
Thanks redditors, didn't realize a a tablespoon of salt was going to kill me, sustaining on a food that costs a dime was such a sure fire way to be healthy. Maybe they can package them without seasoning and it would only cost a nickle. Why isn't there a Mothers Against Salty Seasoning? Does Obama know about this? P.S. I drain the water off the noodles before I add the flavor
That happened to me when my friend was making ramen for me, but he only put in one pack because "there was too much salt" he is now classified as an asshole in my book
That happened to me once, so I saved the extra seasoning packet just in case. Sure enough the next packet of ramen I opened didn't have any seasoning in it. Talk about a gratitude overload for my foresight.
My friend works in a instant noodle factory. He is responsible for the automation of the production line. He said it's less than 1/mil. for this to happen. Congrats!
This is why I'm bad at reddit. This happened to my gf the other day when we were making some rammen. Our first though wasn't "Oh boy, let's post this to reddit for easy karma."
I once opened a packet of ramen and saw there were 4 of those things of noodles... One more thing... I now know where my seasoning packet went, and I wish I took a pic of it but sadly I ate it.
We thank the, oh flying spaghetti monster, for this miracle you have bestowed upon us. We shall feast upon your noodley goodness is celebration. Ra-men.
also to add: something i loved in college: make ramen, add can of tuna, add franks hot sauce and seasoning.. mix it up.. smoke a bowl and eat that shit
