Instant ramen: it’s warm, flavorful, quick, cheap and filling.
It's the chosen favorite among college kids and inmates across America.
Check usage reports from the

for example, and

Ramen has become like cash among American prisoners.
Because behind bars, it can buy you anything.

From clothes, drugs, a favor.
Hey, I like the way your penmanship is, can you write this letter for me,
can you draw this for me, anything.
It's literally gold.
