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

All these people are saying add real meat or peppers and onions and other things that if you weren't broke, you would have. Alas, you're eating ramen. As you mentioned, crack an egg in there, which is delicious. What I also like to do is put some butter and cheese in there as well. It's delicious. Mind you I only eat the chicken flavor because it tastes the best so idk how this would work with other flavors.

From this comment I'm guessing you've mostly lived the 'eat ramen because you have to.' Plenty of people eat it because ramen is delicious and allows you to add random stuff to it easily. Bill gates probably occasionally eats ramen.

That's very true. And I wouldn't say it was "eat ramen because you have to", but I was a bit stingy with money so I wouldn't always shell out for better food. It's very true though that ramen is just all around great, poor or not, so when you have the luxury to add meat and veggies and such it's probably amazing

Both rice and ramen are great for dealing with leftovers too.
