They just need to admit it to everyone and start calling that junk Purina Student Chow.

Back in my school days, I lived pretty much on cheap tacos, almost always from a stand who’s name ended with “-berto’s”. I went for the cheapest of the cheap. Lengua (tongue), cabeza (braised meat from the head, no brains), tripas (tripe) and stuff like that. All tasty and under $3 for 2 tacos at most places.

Ah yeah. All the good real food is expensive (my college has like diners everywhere and it’s not cheap). On the other hand, there’s lots of vending machines that aren’t TOO overpriced so that’s ok, I guess. Unless you’re on a meal plan, but then again, you’re not gonna like all the food that’s in the meal plan so that’s kind of like wasting money. I say take bunches of ramen from home xD

EASY ON THE STOMACH??? Last time I ate Ramen, I violently vomited everywhere, and had extreme cramps and headaches.

Adding sh** to Ramen defeats the purpose of eating Ramen in America.
30 cents a cup, done in 3 minutes, saves your a$$ when you’re flat broke. Add this to generic spaghettios, bologna, and cheap bakery-outlet-store bread and Hamburger Helper (MINUS THE MEAT) and you have my grocery list at age 18!

Agreed. I was very poor in college and I only ate ramen noodles a couple of times. Everyone who thinks they are “dried” is ridiculous. Ramen noodles are deep-fried in palm oil (which just so happens to be one of the WORST oils) and are terrible for you. Enough sodium to kill a small cow.

Whoever wrote this has a skewed perception of cheap – you can make a good (and healthier) dinner for half the price of fast food. You can make dinner for a family for the cost of one single burger, and pizza? don’t even mention it!

You obviously don’t know how a venn diagram works. The center section is for things that meet every other section. This means that Ramen noodles are both expensive and cheap. Also, convenient while taking too long. simpleton.

First, observe the whole bowl. Appreciate the gestalt. Savour the aromas. Jewels of fat glittering on the surface, shinchaku roots shining.

Ramen isn’t so bad. Fresh and canned vegetables are actually pretty cheap add ins. Adding a few good spices helps too. If you can afford meat at all, that makes it even better.
I had a huge craving for it a few days ago when I was nursing a cold. I nuked a big mug of water with baby carrots, some chunks of red potato and some onion slivers. I added just a little of the packet, a crumble of the noodles and a dash of garlic salt and pepper.

But if you’re in college, you probably could eat a whole one. Im not in college yet and I have been known to bring home 2 Subway footlongs and theyre gone in < 60 minutes.

And burritos!! Like Chipotle or Mission burrito… Mission burrito (Only available in Houston) has a deal going where Monday, tuesday, wednesday is $5 burrito day. Those can be around 1500 calories, so, split that in half and use it for two meals! $2.50 a meal. And you really don’t need to eat an entire burrito in one sitting anyway.

And most cereal has a decent number of vitamins. Not to mention vitamin pills. I also forgot pizza. Always get a large, if it’s the same price. Save the leftovers. Only be aware of people stealing your pizza, it’s likely to happen, and most people don’t pitch in. But that Papa Johns deal they had going for the super bowl was pretty sweet.

Yeah, i tasted real ramen when i visited japan too…i still have wet dreams about the stuff, it’s delicious. The dried stuff is..uh.. nowhere near the real stuff, not even in terms of taste.

Sick of the college and ramen cliche. I think people in college eat ramen only because the stereotype has been engrained in their psyche. There’s plenty of healthier cheap food.

The best ramen is the fried stuff you get in a good restaurant, piled on top with veggies and meat. Pot noodle/instant ramen that can be gotten over here in the colonies is, by comparison, garbage.

When I was in Japan I was able to get instant ramen soups that had packets of actual (not dried) kimchi and barbecued pork in them. I miss that so much (especially in winter – kimchi has no equal for warming you up. Except maybe rum).

Scurvy isn’t as easy to get as you think, and it’s super-easy to cure. Just about ANY vitamin C would keep it at bay, and Spaghetti-O’s have remnants of tomato in the sauce.

And if your like me and lucky enough to be within biking distance of an Asian Food Market? Imported instant noodles may be twice the price of the Publix version – but I’ll pay the extra $0.20 for the great flavor and the challenge of trying to translate the Korean cooking instructions! (or Japanese, or Chinese, or……. Hindu???? (I guess India qualifies as part of Asia))

I’m wondering if the person who made this went to college. They spelt ‘convenient’ wrong.

No Ramen noodles in Britain but plenty of ‘Super noodles’ and ‘pot noodles’
