>826 eats ramen every meal not because he likes it or can't afford food, but because he is under the mistaken impression that all ramen is made by a company that trademarked the recipe for ramen, and they advertise in every anime and manga. That's why he has all the packages in his room, they are collectors' items, not trash. He bought the '76 Top Ramen Limited Winter Edition shrimp/chicken gift pack from before they changed the package design off ebay as an investment in order to secure the funds to purchase a genuine '32 Daimyo stainless steel diesel-powered noodle maker of the factory design.
