Was this a while ago? I've gone through several on 120v and I don't think it's ever taken more than 5 min.

It was early 2000s but power standards haven't changed. 5 minutes is a long time when you're used to 1:30 minute to boil. I meant 5 minutes from tearing the package to eating it not 5 minutes to boil but I can see how my phrasing was confusing.
