food of the gods. consists of squiggly noodle brick and a packet of condensed flavor powder.

Can be acquired in two convenient, and scrumptious, forms.

1) Cup O' Ramen.
2) Brick O' Ramen.

College students base their diets around beef, shrimp, chicken, and oriental flavored noodles.

There are better, tastier foods to purchase, such as hot pockets and bagel bites. But ramen saves money so you can buy more liquor, so who really gives a fuck.

Magical joy-giving substance made of most mysterious reagents. Often coupled with water in cauldron bubble to unleash the power of the joy.

A college student's staple food, given that most of the poor kid's money will go directly towards tuition and rent.

1. A unit of monetary exchange in common use among Performing Arts students. Equal to USD .21 or 21 US cents, the average cost of a block of Ramen noodles, the dietary staple of these students. The cost of anything in Ramens (R) divided 3 (or 2, as the case may be) is the number of days they would have to go without food to afford it. This is immensely helpful in making purchase decisions.

2. The essential ingredient in the Ramen Noodle Ceremony, a ritual practiced by some semi-successful performing artists when they start thinking they are The Shit and need to return to their humble origins. The ceremony proceeds roughly like this:

1. Turn off all the heat in the apartment.
2. Three hours later add Ramen noodles (must be Top Ramen Oriental flavor) to 2 cups of water and seasoning packet. Boil over an electric cooking coil for three minutes. (This celebrates the discovery that adding ingredients sequentially is unnecessary and wastes electricity.)
3. While noodles are cooking, beat two eggs in a bowl. Try to remember when eggs were an unaffordable luxury. Think about eggs until their pathos becomes clear. Hear Satie's Gnossienne No. 1 in your mind and wish you understood why it always appears in the Ramen Noodle Ceremony.
4. Stir and remove noodles from heat. Let stand for two minutes.
5. Warm hands over residual heat from cooking coil. Place warm hands over ears.
6. Add eggs to noodles. Stir well. Transfer to bowl.
7. Eat noodles slowly, trying to make them last as long as possible. Drink broth in small sips.
8. Feel yourself transported to when you were your true self -- less than an asswipe.

1.) Delicious, inexpensive noodle soup good for either a light snack or a meal. Goes great with those pre-cooked strips of chicken or beef you can buy at the supermarket. Tastes like shit if overcooked, though.

2.) Inexpensive noodle soup eaten by the wordWapanese/word only because it comes from Japan. They don't actually like ramen at all. They just like the fact that they don't have to import the shit. Not to be confused with normal people who eat ramen because they actually like the taste and/or are too poor to afford anything else.

The kind of noodles you buy at discount stores for 10 cents a bag. Nuke em for 3 minutes and have a complete meal in any flavor you want, chicken, beef, shrimp, even chili.

The best invention in the world, followed by root beer and poptarts.

1.) A brick of noodles to which you can add a packet of seasoning. Often eaten by poor college students in order to save money for alchohol.

2.) One of four Demosthean terms of "otherness" taken from nordic phrases. Ramen refers to an extraterrestrial from another species that could be considered one of yout own. One that you would have peaceful relations with.
