heh

On a more serious note, i think it is much better for the consumers if the major players in the fast food game are keeping product quality at a relatively constant level whilst giving away free things (Opposed to the american method of making food quicker and cheaper)

You'll probably be downvoted since this isn't typically considered HN-worthy content, but I have to admit I chuckled too.

I don't think prepackaged noodles with soup flavoring can get much quicker or cheaper...and 'quality' is not something I'd associate with them. Have a look at the nutritional information on a pack - it's horrifying even before you realize that the package contains two servings.

Is there really a way to reduce the quality of instant ramen noodles?

Wow, I've eaten a lot of maruchen in my life, and i feel like a pretty healthy guy, but man that reads like poison. I wonder if there is a difference in quality/nutrition between american/western instant noodles and Chinese.
