Or you could buy a can of these Nissin Top Ramen Chicken Pringles.<\/p>\n<p>Nissin Top Ramen and I go way back.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first food I prepared on a stove when I was ten years old, and it was also the first food I ruined on a stove when I was ten years old. It got me through lean times during college. It got me through lean times after college. It got me through lean times last week. <\/p>\n<p>And through all those times it\u2019s been the chicken flavor, because, let\u2019s face it, the traditional beef and shrimp flavors are THE WORST. Okay, they\u2019re not horrible, but I\u2019ve always considered the chicken one to be far superior to the other two.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I\u2019ve eaten over 1,000,000 milligrams of sodium-worth of Chicken Top Ramen, I\u2019ve never gotten sick of it. It\u2019s a cheap comfort food and a decent soup replacement when you\u2019re too sick to go out and get a can of chicken noodle soup. I love it and will never forget its flavor.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s awesome that these Pringles smell and taste EXACTLY like the sodium saturated broth made from a flavor packet and boiling water. For those sophisticated palates who have never crossed paths with chicken flavored instant ramen, it\u2019s like a cheap, herbaceous chicken broth. And I get to experience that flavor without burning my mouth, overcooked noodles, undercooked noodles, or wondering what\u2019s wrong with my life.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Nissin-Top-Ramen-Chicken-Pringles-2.jpg?resize=599%2C398\" alt=\"Nissin Top Ramen Chicken Pringles 2\" title=\"Nissin Top Ramen Chicken Pringles 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"398\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As enjoyable as these crisps are, after eating several of them, I felt they were beginning to be a bit too salty. But then I thought, \u201cTHAT\u2019S JUST LIKE CHICKEN INSTANT RAMEN!\u201d And that brought smile to my face.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you think about it, we could make these seasoned potato crisps at home. We just need to dump the seasoning powder into a can of Pringles and gently combine the two. And I might just do that because these Pringles are awesome and they\u2019re available for only a limited time. <\/p>\n<p>Sure, there\u2019s a much cheaper way to enjoy Chicken Top Ramen, which is to buy an actual package of the instant ramen that costs a fraction of these Pringles. But if you don\u2019t want to deal with flavor packets, boiling water, bowls, or lots of sodium, these Pringles are the next best thing.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 ounce (about 15 crisps) &#8211; 150 calories, 80 calories from fat, 9 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, less than 1 gram of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> A lot since I had to buy it on eBay<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 5.5 oz. can<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Dollar General (by eBay seller)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Tastes and smells just like Chicken Top Ramen.<br \/>\n<b>Cons:<\/b> Currently a Dollar General exclusive flavor.
