Does Ramen ever expire?
 

I want some Ramen, but I know it is probably 2 years old. Does it expire?

is there an expiration date on the package?

Nope, that's why I asked :)

My guess is that you're safe. I wouldn't think twice about eating it.

However, if you get sick, I'm not responsible.:p

I don't think it will harm you, but don't be surprised if some critters have hatched.

I don't think it expires. Which is one more reason why it is so fabulous.

They're not critters. They're our friends.

or protein?

LOL. I've always been afraid to eat old Ramen. Guess it's okay. :p

It doesn't expire, but it does get stale after a while. You won't die from eating old ramen, but I'd toss it out and just go to the store and buy fresh packages.

Seriously... it is cheap enough.

I didn't HAVE to eat the ramen. I have plenty of other food and the means to buy more, but I already had this ramen and was craving some! Anyway, I cooked it up and it tasted stale, so I tossed it and ate some french bread instead. I just wanted some carbs :)

Some things never expire.

You will notice I did not say "go bad". It can't go bad if it already is bad.

Have you looked at the calorie and sodium listed on the label?
I gave it up when I saw the breakdown. It is absolutely hideous!:eek:




But it sure tastes good!

I think top ramen last forever and ever and ever and ever...the best is lime shrimp ramen

Ahhhh good. I was about to sget a gift basket together for you. I figured you ran out of food money replacing the clothes your hubby ruined . . :p[

Since we're on the subject of ramen and we know that dzsaigirl didn't starve ;) , what's everyone's favorite brand of Ramen?

I don't care too much for Top Ramen, but I can understand how they can be a lot of people's favorite. The cheapest I've ever seen it was $0.29 a package and less than $5 a carton.

I prefer Sapporo Ichiban myself. Chicken or beef flavor, with egg and leftover meats. :D

I used to like Ooodles of noodles shrimp flavor . . .

I liked oodles because it comes ina cup . . if they made a low salt version it would be a better product.

lime shrimp and or picante

I do not know HOW people eat this stuff. I have never liked it, even when drunk.

Chicken Ramen is the best.


BTW - The FDA's slogan is; "When in doubt, throw it out."

A little off topic but someone at work put a box of individually packaged oatmeal in the break area with a help yourself sign on it. I looked at the expiration date on it and it said 1998:eek:

I actually never ate it until after college, if you can believe that! Because of that I never got overdosed on it and actually even *want* it from time to time, despite having plenty of access to real food!

Best flavor is creamy chicken. How this is different from the regular chicken, I don't know, but it tastes better.
