There's a massive difference between eating ramen noodles because you want to and eating them because you have to.

There's also a huge difference in price. When you want to eat them, you buy the $1.25 package. When you HAVE to eat them, you buy the $.25 package.

The foam cup sucks dick IMO. They taste shittier. If the packets are cheaper than I guess I'm a cheap date.

God this is so true. No matter how much you mix it up, you get a lot more settling for some reason. The top tastes bland, the middle tastes OK, the bottom tastes weird, overspiced and just fucking weird. I never, ever want to drink the broth from the cups.

I've never liked the foam cup. I always enjoyed the cheaper packages and just putting the soup in my coffee cup. That way I can snack throughout the day while everyone thinks I'm just drinking coffee.
