American market edit

The American market for ramen was heavily influenced by servicemen returning from duty in Southeast Asia. Military personnel were exposed to a very tasty and inexpensive form of nourishment that was easy to prepare. It was also lightweight and compact for packing out to the field to supplement rations. All one needed was a canteen cup and heat tabs and you had a hot meal. Some even cracked open claymore mines to get the C4 explosive to burn as fuel. When troops returned home they sought sources in Asian markets and importers, the rest is economics of supply and demand. 2600:1700:4270:8E60:249C:AA:8531:65AD (talk) 17:26, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

That would be the content regarding instant noodles. Ramen is Japanese fresh noodles. 薔薇騎士団 (talk) 07:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
