cup noodles
Just-add-water meal
Cup noodles are instant noodles packaged in a disposable cup or container—you add boiling water, wait a few minutes, and eat directly from the cup.
The format, popularized in Japan in the 1970s, became a global convenience food icon: cheap, portable, requiring no dishes.
I survived finals week on cup noodles and coffee.
