Glad I grabbed a few last night!

Tried these for the first time a couple months ago when everything else was OOS. They are friggin' amazing, I've been missing out. Agreed that the shrimp flavor is phenomenal.

Loblaws at St Clair and Bathurst in toronto has 5 pack for $2

Only chicken and pork flavor left at metrotown.

Half the time I'll scrunch these up, put in the pepper and tiny bit of the seasoning packet, and just eat these straight out of the package.

It's $1.50 there now. Only chicken and pork at that location. No shrimp
No wonder they are dumping them. The expire date is Feb 6, 2023 on all the varieties and from 2 rcss locations

Also, how selectively do you hug your trees? There's no palm oil in the shrimp flavor of the Mama noodles?

I more or less selectively do everything. One of the benefits of being a adult human in a relatively free country.

Ingredients: wheat flour, palm oil, salt, sugar, msg, dried red chilli, chilli powder, fish sauce, shrimp powder, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, dried leek, acidity regulators (sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate), thickener (cellulose gum), soy sauce, disodium 5, artificial lemon flavor.

I can see that challenges in reading comprehension is part of it too. Off course there is palm oil in the shrimp flavored ones. There is in all the flavors.

1- assert a counter intuitive and negative cause and effect relationship
2- invoke "freedumb" when challenged on the validity of that relationship
3- double down with true fact, but unrelated to the initial assertion

Oh, and how does using palm oil contribute to deforestation again? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Isn’t that more of a dryer noodle? The mama noodle
Is more traditional and is soupy. The soup is flavourful and the noodle is great. It’s 2 different noodles

Be honest I have no idea. I am not really a ramen person. All I know is that my son eats Indomie without the soup. Other people commented here mention they ate Mama noodles raw, thus the question.

Indomie is dry. This is soup based. So they don't really compare. Unless you don't eat Indomie dry, which I have seen people do it before.

Also, some may care about price/portion as well. At regular Indomie ($3 for 5 now or $60c ea?) @ 80g and Mama (59c) @ 60g are usually not as good deal as Nissin at 80c for 100g.

To me, Mama should always be priced at around 40c given how little noodle there is in a packet.

Yea, I notice Indomie and Mama noodles smaller than Ichiban and Nissin but my son prefers Indomie Mi Gorang; he eats two at a time.

Flavor changed over the years. It's not as good as I remember from childhood. Dry or cooked.

Yet palm oil is the most environmentally friendly of all the oils produced due to the sheer amount of oil htw palm fruit produces per acre.

St James has but people were going crazy

Last week it was $1.50 at Granview Superstore in Vancouver
This week it was $1 at the Richmond Superstore for pork, chicken and tom yum flavors.
