I'd judge but I just ate ramen noodles with American cheese mixed in

Throw in some cayenne pepper, and this is what we lived on during field training exercises in Korea in the 1980's. Soldiers would trade MREs for a bowl of ramen and a coke in a heartbeat.

Only real downside was MREs came with toilet paper, and ramen didn't. Experienced soldiers were motivated to avoid latrine duty.
