It's a lower calories version of ramen.

And just as a game, what would you eat instead?

I would totally eat that. Although I don't get why everything has to be in a jar these days.

I wouldn't but I don't like the mix of food.

As someone who did live off Ramen in college, it was because Ramen cost $.17 a package (6/$1 in 1992). I can get 10 packages of Ramen for the cost of the jar alone (assuming the jar is $1 but more likely $2.50).

This!

And what is "insanely hot water"?

Otherwise it looks fine, nothing out of the ordinary though.

I would eat it but I wouldn't make it that way. I would just use a pot on the stove instead of a jar I don't already have. It looks tedious for me to put together in a jar... it might be good for an office or hotel with no stove though.
I don't eat Ramen often. I do eat leftovers for lunch. I'm having leftover bean soup today.

Dill, garlic powder, boiled carrots, and chicken soup stock, and no kombu or mushrooms? This is imitation cup noodle, not ramen, right? I don't understand why you'd want to imitate that unless the only thing you know how to make is cup noodle.

Why dirty a jar when you already have the pot out to boil the water? Especially when that jar probably can't be put in the dishwasher due to how the lid hinges on it.

I'm thinking this is something one would make for quick and easy lunches, maybe microwaving the water and pouring over. Although a standard jar/screw lid would work just fine and be easier to clean.

No, I wouldn't eat it. I simply don't care much for soups and I avoid white pasta.

Now I want nooooooodle soup!

Interesting Idea!

Looks ok for a hot lunch at work. I'd probably eat it, although I'd prefer an actual homemade soup (which I would probably put in a jar - jars make everything more enjoyable!)

Because the jar is ADORABLE. Duh.

And yes - I would totally eat this. Minus a few ingredients I don't like. However, most of the ingredients are things I don't have so I'd have to go shopping just for that stuff and I feel like that would negate the convenience factor so even though I would, I probably won't.

Oh, and just to be clear - I would do it as a work lunch, not something I did at home for dinner. In that case I agree about the whole why use the jar thing.

It looks like it's aimed at students living in a dorm. We were allowed electric kettles and microwaves in our dorm rooms, but not hot plates.

If I had access to a full kitchen, I wouldn't make it in the jar.
