The one on sale.

I get the good ramen from the Asian grocery, the noodles are better and you get little packets of sesame or almond oil and freeze dried veggies for more savoriness. That 50 cent ramen don't cut it now.

 

[cooleddie74]

I remember when some Ramens were 8 cents a pack.

Yes, I'm getting old. And ate stuff that would kill the dead a second time.

I see your tastes in Instant Ramen are evolving!

That's not the Ramen you would want to eat!

For a series that allegedly shows nothing but disrespect to the visual continuity of TOS it sure goes out of its way to mimic or even copy it with props.

That device Scotty uses to insert a datatape isn't the exact same device with a viewing slot seen in TOS, but it's got some fun similarities, and looks very retro with those chunky gray buttons.

Weren't the complaints about visual continuity more a DSC thing? Yes, SNW isn't a carbon copy of TOS by any stretch of the imagination, but it has taken steps to mimic it far better than DSC ever did.

Oh, some fans aren't happy with SNW's aesthetic choices, neither.

That's the kind of ramen with sodium counts so high, my feet are swelling just thinking about it.

Those fans stopped being happy about new choices in the franchise around 2005.

They’re a damn-sight better than the aesthetic choices of DSC.

Or....1979.

They're doing fine.

 

[gweeps]

They're doing fine.

If they were, people wouldn't be complaining.

And don't give me that, "Well, you can't please everyone" crap...
