the wife saw me eating crush raw ramen and was like wtf...I said, I was craving for it for some odd reason, it's just like eating potato chips..haha growing up I thought it was just us Hmong kids...til one day, I saw a few other black kids, Pacific Islander kids do the same..one of the kids probably ate one every day before football practice. I think it was more of a placebo effect that it will give him power..lols crush it, add a little of the seasoning package, shake, and enjoy.....Just gotta be careful since Im a lot older now..I felt my heart beating a little faster afterwards..mu st be the high sodium content in the seasoning..lol s
