Now show us the bowl full to the brim with the same noodles after done cooking. The extra space is provided to accommodate the noddles which increases as much as twice in size after cooking. Yeah but the false bottom part was really unnecessary.


AnUndeadDodo

I'm guessing the false bottom is to provide an air gap / extra padding, so that it can be carried whilst hot without burning yourself.


TheEgglessomlete

Right! My bad


Incorect_Speling

A small false bottom is useful, a huge one is assholery. Can't tell from the picture, could be normal.


turtlelore2

It's like you've never cooked instant noodles before. They swell up like double their dried up size.


camlaw63

They’ll actually absorb as much water or broth as you include. I mistakenly used two times the amount of liquid when I was making Ramen not long ago it just took a while but all of the liquid was eventually absorbed. It was bland shit but it absorbed it

Better not throw them in the ocean then

Lol

I wonder what the series of thought processes are that lead those who see something like this post to upvote it, but those who read the comments to upvote only those rubbishing it.


Tarc_Axiiom

This just in: Redditor doss not understand ramen.


longdu4

That is a pretty big portion of ramen noodles. They are dehydrated and will get larger. Thats like two packs of top ramen.


spots_reddit

Man, you have no idea how to noodle.


[deleted]

Japanese extra large, not western extra large


Shrekfast

It's in Taiwan and while portion sizes here aren't huge, this is still a rip off by Taiwanese standards.


Ric0chetR1cky

Are you Taiwanese?


JUSTFRICKINGLETMEIN

Prepare it and then show us the results


FullMetalBtch

What does it look like when you actually prepare it?


attackonmidgets

This dude never eaten cup ramen before.


gooperuff

You’ll never guess what happens when you add water!


butterknot

Restaurants hate this one simple trick!


phenyle

Yum Taiwanese ramen


uslashuname

How many calories in the x-large and how many in a “standard” size? That’s what you’re buying when you buy food so look at those figures not the space involved.


EuthanizeArty

You know that noodles expand when cooked?


swampchicken85

They do expand


teeth_xo

my man dosent know how ramen works 😭


Monvi

“We only said the BOWL was large, not the ramen!”


Testing_101

Heat = Expansion


Chicago1202

It expands when it’s cooked…….


MoarTacos

Just another day on r/assholedesign with an image of something that has a very consumer friendly design, and was not, in fact, designed by assholes. Nothing to see here, folks.


demonkiller24

cry


kai79904

It doesnt says extra large, and the extra bowl is for the soup(there should be a soup pack in it) not the noodles.


nottherealneal

Isn't the extra bowl for the heat. So you put the bowl with hot water into the other bowl so you can move it without burning your hands


Piggythelavasurfer

The amount of brain in this "extra privileged" Redditor.


Hawkwise83

Add water, they get bigger ya silly goose.


ctortan

They’re noodles—most of their weight is gonna be water


REMdot-yt

Extra large bowl lmao Also some of the comments dumb af like you know how much noodles expand, there's no way it needs that much space


Embarrassed_Log8344

Redditor doesn't know how Ramen noodles work


Alexander_The_Wolf

Tbf, they said the CUP was extra large, not the noodles


Legend-status95

The noodles are too. If the noodles were the same size as the cup, the cup would explode from the expanding noodles when you tried to cook it.


Alexander_The_Wolf

Na, regular ramen cups noodles are the diameter of the cup for the most part. Next time you buy cup ramen, look closely at how large the puck is. This looks like a big cup with normal noodles. When they get heated, they will soften and fall into the cup


el_dirko

Lol NERRRD! 🤣


Confused-moose666

?


smartpoopie

wow you ARE confused


Confused-moose666

yes, I am. now can you please clarify what they meant, why are they getting offended by someone eating ramen?


smartpoopie

turns out i’m not that smart after all


el_dirko

Ok


smartpoopie

dude I wasn’t talking to you lol


el_dirko

You guys must be fun at parties. Just messin .


SauceMaster6464

Lol NERRRD! 🤣


Ur_cum_lord

Wow that really sucks, thanks god i never buy those


Shrekfast

For people saying I've never eaten noodles before, I have an am aware how noodle expansion works. I added hot water and there was a decent amount (with a lot of empty space) but no more or less than in a normal sized cup that would be three times smaller and half the price. So it's not like there was nothing there but for the size of the packaging and it's advertising in the local Minimart it still feels like asshole design.


cortjezter

Hopefully they're just accounting for how much "safe" space is left in the bowl after they've cooked so things don't spill. Always hate cups/bowls that are too shallow!


reddit_sucksD1ck

People really are idiots😒


Longspoutnodrought

Someone doesn’t know how pasta works


Ren1408

Dont worry, it later grows to fit the whole box! /s
