Maruchan
Budget soup packets
Maruchan is a brand of instant ramen noodles, widely recognized in the United States for its cheap, quick-cooking soup packets.
The name has become somewhat generic for budget instant noodles: I lived on Maruchan through college.
The brand is associated with dorm rooms, tight budgets, and late-night convenience.
