[MUSA Guy 1] I need some new cup noodles, preferably MUSA noodles. We're being beaten up on trade here people.
[Noodle Guy 45] Uh, yeah, good luck on that, ALL cup noodles are made in China.
[GeographicallyPedantic56] Only cheap cup noodles are made in naughty China. Most mid-range and higher cup noodles are made in nice China.
[MUSA Guy 1] So you're telling me I can only buy cup noodles from China? I can't do that, I need MUSA noodles.
[SortaHelpful] Why not just go custom cup noodle? Have a local cup noodle builder make you a cup of noodles. I bought some cup noodles for $50, which seems expensive, but it was worth it.
[Someguy] Or why not just go for a cup of instant mashed potatoes made in the US from Idaho potatoes? They cost the same amount as a cup of noodles and are ideologically pure.
[MUSA Guy 1] They both sound really good, but this thread isn't actually about cup noodles. I'm just a bit angry that the world has changed over the last few decades and I needed a pulpit to browbeat people with my politics, without seeming to have an overtly political agenda.
