alt Hacker NewsI saw HUGE ramen displays yesterday at Safeway, including some of the less common flavors like blue (Soy Sauce, formerly "Oriental") and yellow (Creamy Chicken).
I can't find the blog post from the last major recession where people were talking about all the crazy flavors you only see when the economy is REAL bad.

I'm a fattie on a D.A.S.H. (low salt) diet, but I do buy a dozen or so Creamy Chicken ramen every year.
At WalMart, they're now 47¢ (and I swear low-30s within the past year)... which actually helped me not purchase any this last visit (too expensive for all it is).
I was always taking noodle bowls to work. Fill with water, microwave, enjoy at my desk. A dollar or two.
Couldn't believe how many people would go to the sushi restaurant at the base of the building and spend $25 on lunch a couple days a week. Yikes.
Creamy Chicken is virtually impossible to find in stores where we live!
Are you sure they're not trying to capitalize on the ramen craze from kpop demon hunters?
