self heating ramen
wat??
It’s a thing, I just looked it up
I just don’t know where you find it. I’ve been in Japan for years and never run across it.
The are existing self heating ramens by using the same tech USA army warms their MRE “just add water” no matter temperature
Exothermic chemical reaction heats the food, like modern military MREs
There is a chemical heating element at the bottom of the cup. You add water, pull a string, and it will boil the water without a stove/microwave.

Just pasting the link here because it won’t load for me
Ah I remember that scene-- I just didn’t think it was cheap enough to actually make sense to use in the real world. I wonder where they’re sold bc I don’t think I’ve run across one in the wild.
