I remember the guy was of Asian origin and very poor. He went on a noodle spree, with the kind of noodles that cost around $0.10 per sachet.

When I was a student I remember once eating 3 or 4 packs in one go, and then my body reacted to it, like I was really disgusted by the taste/smell of it. I never touched this stuff since.

You are what you eat (and sometimes you are no more) as they say...
