I had just finished a bowl of Ramen [2] noodles [3] when I read this.

I have also:

  • subsisted on Ramen
  • been severely financially impacted when Ramen fluctuated between 3/dollar and 10/dollar
  • hit the lowest of lows and stolen a case of Ramen out of a parked car* [4]
  • contemplated writing a "101 Ramen" recipe book
  • somehow not grown to hate Ramen; in the best of times between steak and lobster, I still stock up on the noods.

  • Thank you, Mr. Ando.

    *To whom it may concern: I would like to apologize for stealing the Ramen. If you lived where I did and bought a case of Ramen, chances are you weren't wealthy. I probably really fuxed the week up for you and your kids, and it's bothered me for over fifteen years.
    Please know that we fully appreciated it.
