Oh man, I was thinking about making the rounds and collecting all the boosters from people who didn't play, but I didn't want to lose my place in line...

Also, I got only 3 packs of Ramen. Alas, there's always next year (provided they bring Ramen again).

instant ramen is horrible, even if it's free

I got like 15-20 packages for my brother who is currently homeless. I wanted to get an entire box, but they ran out by the time I got there.

DTJAAAAM

I took one since I didn't want to seem too greedy...

dyaballikl

showed up after they abandoned their post today and filled one of those giant sony bags with about 65 lbs of ramen. would take too long to count the bags.

Puny Human

You mean the chicken flavored ramen they were handing out?

None.

I'm a vegetarian.

Pricks.

There's actual chicken in chicken flavored ramen? I never would have guessed...

Kuribo's Shoe

I signed up to win my own weight in ramen

if I win I will donate it to a food bank

it'd just be awesome to get a shipment of 270 pounds of ramen.

Houn

None. I ate far too much of that stuff in college, I can't do it but sparingly anymore.

Simplicity

I had ten but tossed like 4 back haha.

sarranade

Man, when The Frag Dolls were chucking them at the crowd before the hard drive giveaway, I got smacked in the face and head so much that I honestly didn't want ANY ramen.
Like, at all.
I hid behind one of the tallest guys I could find, who had a box on his head to catch ramen and a exhibition hall bag full of it.
It was impressive.

What's the full story about the Ramen? I noticed people with boxes of it, but where did it come from?

Kane

I got about 6 bags or so.

They came from the booth doing a "win your weight in ramen" contest to promote the new Naruto game for Wii (I think? Theres so many of them...). You got a packet for signing up. They didn't get rid of it all and on Sunday said take whatever you want.

Buraisu

I got 1 but I hope, I win the contest. I am a big and tall man. ^_^ Wait, how does the contest work? or did they already do it?

MagicallyStupid

If I remembered correctly they did do the contest already, I don't care either way since right now I have about 50 packages of ramon in my kitchen because of some last second 'borrowing' from the booth as they left.

Also to help those of you who has a package and don't want it straight up, here's an excellent recipe to use courtsey of Good Eats

there was a ramen/naruto booth. they weighed people for a chance to win their weight in ramen (fully loaded, i was at about 275), but they abandoned their booth on sunday and allowed the several tons of ramen to be raided by whoever wanted it. too bad it wasn't cup o noodles

Schrodinger

Honestly, the shipping of the ramen was probably a lot more than the ramen itself (They said they would mail it anywhere -- even to Canada). It was probably cheaper to leave the ramen their and bring a fresh supply, then try to rent another truck or something to carry it out.

Ramen weighs 3 ounces and costs, what, 10 cents a pack? So a little under 2 pounds a buck. How much does shipping costs?

I used it for packing material to keep one of my items safe. :P Edible for later...

megor

I only got 9 packs, was next to the guy that took a hit in his glasses. Thankfully the lens fell into his bag so was able to recover it, hopefully that can put it back in his frames without any issues

What the FUCK?!

I've seen people fight over a lot of things, but RAMEN?!

dyaballikl

just finished my first ramen pack. 1 down, 79 to go!

megor

There was no fight, the frag girls were throwing them pretty hard and if you didn't keep your head down...well yah HEADSHOT

super...

you know how many organisms you kill every time you bathe? millions, it's like your committing genocide, so stop bathing and become the dirty hippie you have always wanted to be!

i don't poop in your salad don't piss in my ramen (not that i could taste it, if you did)

Druhim

uh...I don't think he had a problem with people getting and eating chicken ramen but rather the fact that he couldn't take part in the (dubious) goodies

so I think you're overreacting because he's not pissing in your ramen or shitting on your steak for that matter

super...

Really? Oh, thats cool then.

I do wonder if that stuff has any real meet though. Frankly I think whats inside those bags amounts to edible packaging, or rather it's not a big loss if you don't get any for free.

he might be a strict vegetarian and the powder is made from some sort of chicken by product.

Druhim

yeah, there's still chicken broth although there's certainly plenty of additives

JoahW

Yeah, I was close friends with a vegan dude for a while. There's animals in more stuff than you'd expect (like gummy worms.) And even if it's a really small amount of animal parts, you're still supporting the exploitation of animals through capitalism.

But I loves me some steak.

Shauk

wait, you mean you just had to be heavy to win ramen? dang i'm like 300 lbs

Kane

Did they actually do the ramen drawing yet? I'd like to know if I've got my 285lbs of ramen on the way!

dyaballikl

there's no meat in the ramen. the powder (which you add after cooking for additional flavor), has what's called "chicken powder," which, I assume is actual chicken. but, you can make the ramen without even opening the seasoning packet.

Yep gelatin, same thing which makes pork/beef BBQ so gosh darn tasty.
