Bad thing about recalls is, once they figure out there is something wrong its already far too late. Good thing food mfgr's are proactive about this sort of thing today and usually do it on their own, lord knows the government can't make them do it...

Maruchan rules for ramen. Though Nissin has good Cup O Noodles. Just had a cup the other day!

i looked on Wikipedia and others, and couldnt find why MSG is significantly bad for you...of course its bad, but HOW bad?

they fed straight MSG to rats and said the only thing that happened was it built up behind their eyeballs. so they probably went blind? i dont know

Sapporo Ichiban is the best Japanese ramen I think - the regular one in the red/white package. Just cook that, add an egg, and you're good to go. Kitsune ramen is also good - that fried soybean thing is the best.

Of course, Korean ramens are also delicious, but they're usually more spicy, and sometimes seafood-y.

no you both got it wrong! Mexanese can be mistaken for a Mexican Chinese, and Japino can be mistaken for a Japanese Filipino...he's Japexican...which can only be mistaken for a Japanese Texican

Its funny because his younger sister looks Mexican and his youngest sister looks Japanese!
