Hey, you never know, you might enjoy it! Everyone's tastes are different, which is why I try to explain what I'm tasting as I go along and my rationale for the score. My tastebuds got completely overwhelmed by that Ramen Talk flavor, but others out there like the Ramen Rater in his review (www.theramenrater.com/2023/07/15/4535-ramen-talk-pepper-crispy-pork-noodles-china ) seemed to really like it. That one is pretty much the only one on the bottom 5 list that I'm willing to admit might be a "me" problem.

I was hoping you were going to put the Trader Joe's one in the first spot because it is HORRIBLE but I also think that the Mike's brand is disgusting. I really wanted to like it but it tastes burnt to me and totally devoid of chicken flavor in my opinion. Unfortunately I bought several of these and have to doctor them up the noodles with my own flavoring and throw the packet away. By the way you cracked me up so much. 😂 I don't know why I get so much enjoyment hearing you talk about how much you dislike something that you're eating. I think most of us would love to see your facial reaction when eating something yucky but I understand your anonymity.

Funny story about the face/anonymity thing. Back when I was figuring out what I wanted my filming approach to be and learning how to edit, I did actually film my channel intro video showing my face with the intention that I would start each review talking to the camera before switching to my top-down perspective for the review. Needless to say, it was... not good. While I probably would have gotten better at presenting as time went on, that original video was rough. I just couldn’t pull off the conversational mannerisms that a lot of KZreadrs show while also reading my notes for each episode but not making it obvious that I was reading notes. At that point, I decided that the noodles were the star of the show and not me, and so I ended up a lot more comfortable with my current method of filming. Also, it's funny you bring up Mike’s because I actually decided to review some more of their varieties this year. One of my friends way back when urged me to give them another chance. We'll see how it goes...

In your 10 ten ramen list yon didn’t rank them from 10 to 1 so what is the ranking and also didn’t you like paleo better than nongshim shin ramyun.

Thank you for taking one for the team for us 🫡

You're welcome! I would say "my pleasure" except it really wasn't. 😂
