Last month I posted a meme that was about giving out Ramen packets instead of candy for Halloween. I also said that I thought it was a great idea because when I was a kid, I thought Ramen was awesome. I still do, but back before I knew anything about cooking, it amazed me how simple, yet tasty it is. So, I announced that I was going to give out packs of Ramen for Halloween because I think kids would love it.
Everyone laughed.
Except for my niece in Rhode Island who told her mother, I want some for Halloween. And also, the kids that trick or treated our home last night. They were given a choice. I held out a bowl that had candy bars AND packs or Ramen in it. Kids could choose anything they wanted. Half took the Ramen. One group of kids saw the bowl and excitedly yelled “Ramen!” at the same time and immediately grabbed all the packs I had left in the bowl.
Guess I’m the one laughing now. Well, not laughing. I’m actually planning next year. I’m thinking of writing up recipe ideas for ramen and taping them to the packs of Ramen so the kids will get interested in cooking too.
So there.
I gotta have this for next year.
