Yeah. You can add Canada to the confused list. Is "pot noodle" ramen or something?

Calling it ramen is like calling McDonald's "a restaurant"; but yeah, pretty much.

Imagine the shittiest possible form of ramen. That's the best pot noodles.

Dried noodles, a few peas and some flavouring in a plastic pot/tub/cup/container, which you add boiling water to to "cook".

Generally for eating at work/school etc, where you might want warm food but only have a kettle (electric water boiling device).
