| | + | '''Ramen''' are [[Japan|Japanese]] [[noodles]] of [[China|Chinese]] origin. They are very popular snacks in the [[Pacific Rim]] and in [[United States|America]]. They are stereotypically associated with American college students because they (or at least their instant form, such as manufactured by Nissin) are typically very inexpensive. |
