And so we reach the final ramen post. But I’m not eating ramen today, I’m making it. Specifically, this:
It’s a plastic model kit of a ramen cup! This was made to commemorate 50 years of Cup Noodle and lest there be any doubt…
It’s not edible!

Here’s a shot of the contents (pre-cooking, of course):
And here I faced a choice. Display it with the contents showing, or attach the lid? I chose the latter, and the contents of my cup will therefore be sealed away forever.
Here’s a shot showing scale next to a toy car I just happened to have:
It’s a fantastic kit, and I’ll be keeping it on permanent display 🙂
