And then subsequently had an epic case of intestinal distress and/or dehydration, I suspect.

About to say, if they’re claiming retail price (10¢) that’s 1,000,000 ramen packets. I wonder what kind of volume that is…

Looking closer at the article, the author thumbnails 75 cents per pack based on an online price they found. I guess 75c might be a reasonable gas station price, but everyone knows you can get Maruchan for a quarter a pop, or less if there’s a sale or they have six packs.

Maybe in Desert Center or some shit, where you’re buying something from the gas station as peace offering to the clearly cannibalistic locals.

This might be a repeat. At this point I just want to keep the ball rolling.

The usual full retail price from what I’m remembering is $1/pack. HOWEVER, its always “on sale” for $.10 - $.25 a pouch. Always. The only place I’ve seen them actually sell for a dollar is the sort of convenience store where you’re meant to add hot water to them from the coffee pot and eat them right there. Truck stops and shit. For top Ramen/maruchan etc.
The better ones are more expensive. Shin and related Korean brands are ~$2 a pop, depending on format. The nicer Japanese brands in the same style as Top Ramen like Sapporo tend to stay at the $1 mark unless you’re somewhere where they’re widely distributed. And then there’s stuff like this which I think I paid more than $5 per pouch for. Along with a few others like it. That taste almost like real soup. Though to be fair its not supposed to be around $5 per pouch. I just got curious at a point where every online source I could find but one was sold out.
So we don’t know what brand of Ramen. Could be a hell of a lot more than $100k
ETA: Come to think of it I don’t think that was the brand I spent 5 bucks on. Definitely started with an M though. Now I want to dig through amazon and buy weird high end Ramen for the first time in a while. I remember there was a brand that was like $10 a pouch and worth it.

I would join you – and really, anyone – on a highly weird ramen adventure.
There’s a chance I’d get into a murder van if the murderer promised ramen.
