Rational Action

For months Jenn has told me that ramen has wax in it. Usually it happens when I ask her if she’d like some, and she says “No, I’m not eating that. It has wax in it.” Other times, when I’m eating it, she’ll say, “Why are you eating that? It has wax in it.”

However, when I put her wax comments into context, I couldn’t help but find an ulterior motive. Early in the year, Jenn got sick from some chicken ramen. What she was doing eating chicken ramen, I have no idea — she is a vegetarian. Clearly, this was her own fault, and she bared a grudge on ramen, which she expressed by fabricating these waxy coating shenanigans. (She has claimed that we told her it wouldn’t make her sick. These claims are lies.)

Thus it came as a great shock when, after I asked Chris’ roomate Ben whether eating ramen every day was heatlhy, he replied “It’s alright, but watch out, it’s coated in wax.” This affirmation of Jenn’s previously suspect comments sent me reeling into the wall. I fell to the ground and suffered a minor concussion: another effect of ramen’s unhealthiness.

The wax comments were especially disturbing because earlier in the day I had been told, “Dude, you eat more ramen than most asian people.”

Now apparently you can remove the wax by boiling the ramen and then straining it. You can also boil it and use a spoon to scoop off the wax from the top of the boiling water (It appears as white foamy stuff). Still, I’ve stuck to Mac & Cheese with chopsticks ever since that fateful day.
