More sage advice...

Following up on this note to self, I'm here to say that you should never attempt to eat 2 minute noodles without the seasoning they give you in the pack. If you find the seasoning to be hard and dry, because the pack was open and the air got in, it is not a good idea to add a chicken stock cube and Italian herbs instead.

And if you decide to go against this sage advice and find that you should have listened to me, after the first mouthful, let me tell you now that the taste does not improve the more you eat of it.
