A nutritional aside, something I learned about dried ramen when I was an adult leader in boy scouts was they are fairly "empty" calories.
What I mean is, while they would seem like the perfect backpacking food, being light and simple to prepare with just hot water, they really don't provide much nourishment.
That said, they are extremely cheap, and store well. I figure during some emergency, giving out cup of noodles to neighbors is great ROI.
Keep putting up the ramen, but please make sure that's not your only source for long term calories and nutrients.
