      Maruchan Ramen Chicken, Pack of 24, for $7.36 on Amazon. That’s literally $0.30/pack (or $0.10/oz). https://a.co/d/gr4Ft9F

      Just throwing out there that ramen is indeed dirt cheap still.

        You’re stuck on details that don’t matter. Ramen is not worth buying no matter how cheap it is.

        But whatever. I give up. Be annoying.

          I see you don’t know what “self-awareness” means.

          If you lost your secondary argument that you brought up for no reason, maybe just stop replying instead of being an obnoxious shit?

          I’m a bit confused why everyone is dogpiling on you. You claimed that Ramen hasn’t been 10 cents in decades and he comes back with a source that it is, in fact, 3 times more expensive. Given their own source, you were right.

            Thank you, I appreciate it.
            It’s the hive mind voting effect. Once someone gets downvoted enough in a thread any response they have going forward will also be downvoted.

              Nah, I downvoted you because you are being obnoxious.

              They told you from the get-go that “Ramen” while being a specific food is also colloquially used to refer to “inexpensive food” and Specific amounts don’t really matter.

              But here you are, stuck on details that don’t matter insisting that $0.10 a pack of ramen matters to this discussion, then calling everyone “idiots”, “annoying”, and “are arguing about dumb shit”- even though you were the one who came in arguing about dirt cheap trash food not being exactly as dirt cheap as first claimed it was.

              Given your continued astounding lack of awareness, too, I take it you missed your meds.

            They came back and verified WarmSoda’s claim, and WarmSoda responded with:

            You’re stuck on details that don’t matter. Ramen is not worth buying no matter how cheap it is.
            But whatever. I give up. Be annoying.

            So that’s why there are downvotes. Hardly “dogpiling” at these tiny numbers. It’s not about the claim, or the fact that $0.30 a pack is still dirt cheap, as they said, it’s the fact that WarmSoda is being obnoxious and name calling because they aren’t being praised for their observation.

              I’m not sure what you’re talking about, nobody verified WarmSoda’s claim. They doubled down that the price is still 10 cents by changing the units to oz. and everyone ate it up. WarmSoda backed off because this is a truly stupid argument, but I’m still baffled on how Nate Cox was able to get away with that mental gymnastics. I guess I can get away with selling a car to you guys claiming it only costs a dollar (per oz.)! Come on, its a really good deal, you’re not going to get a car for a dollar anywhere else!!!

                uh, ok, bud. If you are here to flip flop your arguments on a whim just to pick a fight about what no one was talking about, go ahead. You can join blocksville with obnoxious name-calling guy 👍

                  Please feel free to point out any inconsistencies. However, there isn’t any between those two statements. Here’s the definition of verify for you: “to prove that something exists or is true, or to make certain that something is correct.”

      I’ll check when I get to the store today, but “decades” is definitely wrong, unless you mean the 8packs (I was talking about singles). Or you’re getting the yakisobas or cup noods that cost more than the packs, or sapporo ichiban which I have to go to a special store for as it is an import and that is about $1.50 a pack (but that chow mein is worth it, that shit is so good.) Bananas are cool too.

      Wait, did I put a gun to your head and force you to eat ramen and I missed it? Tf are we doing here lmao this is the dumbest “debate” I’ve ever had. I’ll say again “the ramen was a metaphor my dude, it ain’t that deep.”

        The really good noodles are far more than 10 cents a pack of course, but if you can afford it the dollar-a-pack ones are much better. It’s still a dollar for a meal pretty much, so not bad.

        I recommend the Mi Goreng noodles by Indomie if you want really good ones. They make halal ramen in Indonesia that beats everybody else or at least ties evenly with Sapporo Ichiban and Nongshim. You can get a 30-pack for $20 to $30 online

        It doesn’t matter. You guys are all being idiots and arguing about dumb shit.

        If you don’t know how to cook food for yourself I highly recommend learning today. Eggs for example are cheaper and cook in less time than ramen.
