Cup Noodle

I bought some Cup Noodle the other day and only just now realized how great it is. I not only know the basic color scheme they use to show what flavor it is, but I also have the cooking instructions memorized.

You can't microwave the cup because it's styrofoam and will melt.

Boil some water.
Peel back the lid a little.
Pour in the water up to the line at the top.
Fold the lid back over.
Let it sit for about 2 minutes.

Enjoy.

Hopefully the other ramen I bought will follow this process. I did find the international food store near me though. I got some pasta and granola. I can get Cherry Coke and Pepperidge Farm cookies a mere 5 minute walk from my apartment. What more could I ask for?

Remember when you used to make me Cup Noodle and bring it to German class at night? I would put my feet up on my (plastic) briefcase and repose while you called me sweet somethings.

In terms of snack food, only thing that really gets to me would be Sun Chips, I think. Oh, and sometimes tacquitos from Sev, but that's embarrassing.

Yeah, the lack of taquitos at the 7-11s here is upsetting. However, the Japanese have some strange penchant for hotdogs. You can buy all sorts of "pastries" that have hotdogs in them with the ketchup and mustard as well. They also really seem to like corn dogs.
