My only question is, why dont bums do the Ramen noodles? I mean, they can pan handle for a bottle of two buck Chuck but saving .50 of that to run into a 99 cent store and pick up a package is out of the question? Look, I know how apetizing a half eaten KFC Snacker fetched from a dumpster can be, but Christ, think about it. You could eat for a week on two bucks.

    worst story ever...

    But okay when I was in second grade there was a boy in my class who was the "Most Popular" kid of the moment. His name was Mark. All of the girls swooned over him. Poor Mark's mother sent him with a pack of Ramen noodles everyday for lunch. Uncooked, I might add. Only this was like the hot thing since Mark had it. So Mark ate the noodles, and then he picked his favorite girl of the day to give the flavor/salt packet too. It was a big competition. And whoever got it was like the envied girl of the day.


    Mark was such a pimp.

    that was my thinking too. it's easier to save money on food if you can cook it yourself. i guess ones that are camped out somewhere could make it?

    god bless ramen, that helped me out immensely when i was in school

    I really dont think the hot water part is gonna matter so much as now he or she has a meal. I posed this question to someone at work and they told me that in prison no one heats the water.

    If I ever lose my home, job, money, and all hope, a packet of Ramen noodles is not going to keep me from throwing myself off a bridge.

    However, if I could score a bottle of MadDog, I might just get drunk and pretend my life is better.

    I choose alcohol.

    I don't know if getting food is such a problem for homeless people. My brother lives in New York City and says it is very easy for homeless people to get free food from soup kitchens and homeless shelters. The big problem seems to be in finding a place to sleep (homeless shelters are often filled up fast and the ones that have room do not have the best conditions).

    maybe they're just irresponsible with money, which is what got them there in the first place, noe asking for YOUR saved cash.

    there are a lot of reasons why people could be homeless. It's not necessarily just irresponsibility.
    as for the question, yea how would they heat the water?
    they should go for the $1.39 snack wrap at Mickey D's.

    And lol, Chiqui I still eat Ramen, I like the creamy chicken flavor

    in college I used to heat it with the water from my little mini coffee maker :)

    c'mon now...how u think they stay warm?? The garbage can serves 2 purposes. Makeshift fireplace/oven/toaster/microwave.

    I still love Ramen noodles. Cheddar Cheese and Limon Chicken all the way!

    Mark sounds like an ok guy! I landed my first girlfriend by giving her the cherry flavored lifesaver. Nothing like being the king of the snack foods! ;)
