While considering his dining options for the evening, Whiting, Indiana resident Tyler Ardor, 23, decided to “treat himself” by dining on a shrimp-flavored packet of Maruchan Ramen noodles he had been “saving for a special occasion.”
“You know, I was thinking of maybe doing the beef packet with like, a squirt of Sriracha to give it a nice kick, but that shrimp was calling to me. I figured, you know, you only live once.”
After finishing the meal, Ardor claimed to be satisfied with his decision. “Yeah, it was good, and like, it’s not every day I get to eat seafood.” Representatives from Maruchan were quick to point out there is no seafood in the product, citing the ingredient list that only claims to contain “artificial and natural shrimp flavoring.”
