My roommate tried to make 'fancy' ramen with a $15 jar of truffle salt
I was in the kitchen last Tuesday when he pulled out this tiny jar he got from some fancy food store. He sprinkled a ton of it into a 25 cent pack of instant noodles and said it would 'elevate the dish.' It tasted like feet and pennies, honestly. The whole thing cost more than just making a decent soup from scratch. Has anyone else seen a budget meal idea that totally missed the point?

Ugh, that's the perfect way to ruin both the salt and the noodles. Why not just fry an egg and throw in some green onions? You get way more flavor for like fifty cents.

Oh man, that's the worst. It's like putting a gold hubcap on a broken-down car. Some things just don't need to be "elevated," you know?
