This is what I was talking about. $0.25 per package but no nutritional value and full of sodium. It can be dressed up pretty easy or be a cheap meal in a pinch, but it shouldn’t be eaten every day like some (college) kids recommend.
Most of the nice ramen are just the packaging and maybe some freeze dried veg. Get the cheap stuff. You can cut the seasoning packet down if you want to reduce sodium and add diy ingredients to make a far better bowl. egg for protein- carrots, mushrooms, spinach etc for variety. It’s a good quick source of carbs and can be very diverse as far as a meal goes.
I’ve had several fancy ramen packs that were around $7 vs the usual $0.25. I agree they are not worth the price difference if you’re looking for value.
That said, most of them are much better than the cheap ramen packs. They’re worth trying some other time when calories per dollar is not the priority.
The YouTube channel That Dude Can Cook has videos showing other things you can pre-make to add to cheap ramen if time is not an issue. His noodles look way better than anything that just comes from a ramen pack.
Cheap instant ramen, not the nice bowls of ramen.
The stuff that’s $.25 per package.

I’ve heard one story of a college student getting actual scurvy from a lack of nutrition in their exclusively ramen diet.
There’s the chubbyemu video on ramen
Oh, ok, that makes sense. Those bowls of ramen sure don’t look cheap.
