Oh thanks, that really clears things up.
Yeah. You can add Canada to the confused list. Is "pot noodle" ramen or something?
Calling it ramen is like saying McDonald's is a restaurant; but yeah, pretty much.

Marijuana infused noodles. 😌
(Context for people out of the loop: this is a joke)
Dried noodles, a few peas and some flavouring in a plastic pot/tub/cup/container, which you add boiling water to to "cook".
Generally for eating at work/school etc, where you might want warm food but only have a kettle (electric water boiling device).
Imagine the shittiest possible form of ramen. That's the best pot noodles.
