What's the deal with this stuff? Why was it invented? How did it get so popular?

1. It's cheap as fuck and easy to make
2. They wanted to make easy food for students that was cheap as fuck.
3. Because it's cheap as fuck and easy to make.

It offers a cheap simulacrum of food for those that cannot or perceive that they cannot afford the real thing.

I love this. But I have scurvy now. It's been my dinner every day for the last 7 years.

It's also literally just super cheap noodles so you don't just have to use it as the instructions say on the box. Make stir fry with it.

It was actually considering something of a luxury when it first came out because it was 35 cents a package, which for 1950s Japan was pretty expensive.

Are you the same guy who started a thread about scurvy on here?
Surely there's not more than one person on /ck/ with scurvy.

>> No.9623831

>>9623816
I always figured anons on /ck/ were riddled with scurvy, gout and other nutritional diseases.

What's wrong with having gout, faggot?

>> No.9624272

>>9624164
isn't gout just another term for being a huge overeating fattie?

>> No.9624286

>>9624272
No, gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that comes from poor diet and/or excessive alcohol consumption.
You don't have to be a fatty to have it, but it helps.

i think i had the gout, had bad diet, and also binge drinking 3 to 5 times a week. my feet swelled up to the point i could barely get my shoes on, worse than pic related. i changed my diet and stopped drinking and went back to normal.
