<p>Damn shame.</p><p>I always keep cup o noodles in my desk at work for days when i'm stuck inside and get hungry i at least have something. it's come in handy during many snow storms and i'd be stuck there&nbsp;for hours.</p><p>Plus if I'm watching a movie and I get hungry I always have a few stored in the house somewhere. Love the ramen noodles and cups. </p><p>RIP Instant Noodle Dude!</p>
