Transcript:
Boss: So, you're telling me the kitchen's out of flour, the warehouse just burned down and noodle sales have dropped for the 5th consecutive month? Fall of the Ramen empire
As long as there are broke college kids, the empire will survive. What’s that? College kids aren’t broke anymore, their parents are? A whole new market opens up…..!!
No college for me, just military and we didn’t have luxury items like Top Ramen. Warm bier and bratwurst every day for 2 years, now that’ll make a man outta ya. He should switch his work force over to the Ceasar dressing factory.
Never going to happen. Believe me I’m Asian…Though I suppose it could happen with this company if more and more people decide to eat the better spicy version (Shin Ramyun) :)

I’m surprised that there’s no mention of the canoodling that is so often suggested as a factor in the fall of the Roman Empire.

Did Nero fiddle while Ramen burned? That, of course, is a silly question because fiddles had not been invented during the Ramen empire.
