More a hackneyed grad student joke than a science thing...

The inventor of Instant Ramen and Cup Noodles has passed away. I actually haven't eaten the stuff in ages, because I have a kitchen now. When I was a first-year grad student, I had a case of ramen in my dorm room. I could never handle the whole "flavor packet", though, too salty. Usually I would add about half the packet. Oh, and Chicken Ramen was by far the best-tasting.
