Instant ramen noodles… a true delicacy among college students and several different socioeconomic backgrounds. Why is it that the chemical "soup base" and freeze-dried noodles are so delicious? Well, our bodies love salt. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the sodium in food like Cup Noodles and Buldak ramen is off the charts… but, our bodies love that kind of stuff. Fast food will never be the poster child of health, but that's not why we eat instant ramen. We chow down on the squiggly noodles because we want to and nothing will ever curb the craving for some salty, saucy goodness. Aside from the fact that instant ramen satiates all the unhealthy cravings we might have day-to-day, it's also quick and cheap. With the low price of ramen, you can buy extra ingredients to spruce it up and pretend you're a ramen sheft at a Michelin restaurant. It might not taste the same, but it will definitely feel more involved. If that's not your cup of tea, leave it as is. God knows that's all I do. Where were we? Oh, right! Ramen memes. Scroll below.

Chopping up some rice cakes, maybe adding some diced green onion and bamboo shoots… you're basically Carmy from The Bear. It's not easy being an intuitive chef, but you somehow make it work. The worst part about instant ramen is the fact that one pack never feels like enough, but two packs will have you on your behind for hours in a food coma. Things could be worse…
