And discoverd that I could tell the difference between the corn and the peas! And not only that–though this is cause enough for celebration. No, not only that, for in fact, _IN FACT_, in this Cup o’Goodness the peas **tasted like** (\*gasp) **peas!** I am…speechless. Yes, I have had the epitomy of Ramen, the chayeel choheun gook soo, the… **Perfect Cup o’Noodles**. Yes, I know, you wish you were me; sadly, though, there can be only one. ---

Eww…Cup O’ Noodles…eww eww eww. I don’t know what it is about them, but I absolutely detest them. Regular chicken ramen, on the otherhand, even the same brand, is really good. But just smelling Cup O’ Noodles nauseates me. ---

I have never seen the words “delicious” and “Cup o’ Noodles” used in such close proximity before. It is often difficult for me to distinguish any difference in flavor between the wrapper and its contents. ---

“delicious Cup o’ Noodles” Now there’s an oxymoron if I ever saw one. ---

O teppei - I read, I stopped at the 7-11 (you probably don’t have those in America - they’re convenience stores where you can buy local australian delicacies - Sarah Lee Frozen Danishes, and a drink called Diet Pepsi). Anyway, I went in and bought a delicious cup o noodles. I had never had one before, but you had me going from your OP. Now it **was** a cup, and it **did** have noodles, and I did say “O” but the other part… …was …not …true alas! pteu pteu pteu Redboss ---

As a student, I get to live mostly on Cup’o’Noodles, and other similar delights, and may I say that the best, I mean the BEST cup’o’noodles is the Sapporo Ichiban kind in the shrimp flavor, which has little shrunken baby shrimp in it. Sadly, they taste like soup water rather than shrimp, but it’s very exciting to hunt through the cup, looking for the shrimpies…Perhaps too much MSG has warped my mind… :eek: * * * Computers save time like kudzu prevents soil erosion -Somebody I forgot the name of ---

What?! Cup-O-Noodles are the best! I prefer Beef and Shrimp flavored over any of the others. Chicken gets on my nerves if I eat too much of it. Mmmmm…Cup-O-Noodles ---

Personally I prefer the Ramen noodles that come in a block and a little enclosed. Oriental is my favorite. ---

Cup O’ Noodles? Pah. You want real flavor? You want peas that taste like peas, corn that tastes like corn? Noodles, noodles, noodles? Three Little Words: **Maruchan’s Instant Lunch.** Ahhhhh. The Summerland in Styrofoam. 😃 ---

I love Ramen-I love draining the liquid and eating just the noodles. I just had a delicious Weaver breaded chicken patty and Oreda mini tator tots. Now THAT’s good eatin’! ---

g’ih! are you kidding me? block o’ ramen… good? BAH! the MSG has warped me forever! seriously, though, the ony way i will ever eat ramen again is in its original state. thaaaat’s right, the block itself! i mean, i too am a student (even if just for a week more…), and i have lived on mere boxes of raisins (the fun size boxes, mind you) as entire meals, but for me, ramen oversteps the lines, man! i used to like it, but after a while, the MSG… oh god, the MSG!!! NO!!! ::retches, nothing comes out, due to lack of food:: and PLEEEASE, don’t taunt me with O So Glorious Chicken Patties! (the heavenly chorus swells) you can only toy with a poor man’s mind for so long…
