    I grew up in India and we're borderline obsessed with Maggi there. It's something every kid eats growing up and every college student has fond memories of. We all know they are extremely mediocre but there's just so much nostalgia associated with them that they are hard to let go. Every single Indian has at least one significant life memory associated with Maggi noodles. And over time, street food vendors have taken the Plain-Jane pack of Maggi noodles and really made some extremely creative noodle dishes out of them. Agree with your assessment of them being "just-okay" though. After a decade of living outside India and trying dozens of Asian instant noodles, I definitely get it.

    Maggi noodles are like every Indian kid’s childhood. The taste is more like a nostalgic comfort thing rather than actual flavour. It’s still my go to noodles for when I’m sick and can’t eat anything else. Sometimes my mom adds a spoon of ghee and that changes everything ❤️

    That self heating noodle actually seems potentially pretty dangerous. Those heating packs are used in many MRE's around the world, but food being heated is always in sealed packs so chemical residue from reaction doesn't get into the food. In this case it seemed like food was totally exposed.
    PS. When I heard about chemical taste, I was pretty sure nobody should eat that, taste is totally from the heating pack.

    • @Goldenkitten1
      @Goldenkitten1 Před 2 lety +14

      The American Maruchan yakisoba boxes don't have a little spout for draining the water and don't even mention it in the instructions, I only knew to do so from having the "real" thing. But I guarantee the vast majority of people who are buying this in America when you're on the ramen diet have no clue it's not supposed to be soupy. As for why Mikey didn't do it despite knowing yakisoba is dry it seems like he's following the instructions to the letter in this video and since like I said the instructions don't tell you to drain the water over here I presume he thought it was either supposed to steam off or just be like that.

    Never saw your channel before, and I had just made myself a Cup Noodles (Seafood), the good one with aaaaaall those little bits of dried crab and stuff and had sat down to eat it, when BOOM, there's this episode. So I watched it while eating my Seafood Cup Noodles (which isn't bad, but it felt pretty inadequate after seeing some of the stuff you ate.) This was pretty great; I had high hopes about the self-heating one (I camp a lot) but oh well... I'll have to look for some of those others (except the Cup Noodles) and I need to try that canned fish, I'm already a fan of some of the other canned meats (eel, any day) so I'll keep my eyes open for it. Thank you for the episode!

    Hah, I'm catching up on videos, and I happen to be eating a Nissin Japanese Original cup noodle. I don't eat these things too often for obvious reasons, but sometimes I crave one. I also like the Korean Paldo Kokomen Spicy Chicken (which is what they call a "clean spicy"). I like to make them just a touch healthier by adding little pieces of chopped up carrot (only about a spoonful, though), or thawed peas. But, yeah, definitely guilty pleasures. I eat these maybe once a month, if even that.
    Those boba brown sugar popsicles...I had one a couple of months ago, and it was awesome. They keep running out, but that's probably for the best. I have to watch my salt and sugar, which is why I can't eat these things very often.

But I noticed that when I ate it regularly, like twice a week, I get the sniffles less each time until I got so used to the heat that I can eat it with toast for breakfast. And then I remember, I stopped cold turkey for a month due to out-of-town work, and boy the moment I ate a Samyang noodle after that I just got massive sniffles and tears again.
