I'm coming to the conclusion that Cup-A-Noodle is not a drink. I know that this shouldn't seem startling to anyone, but to me, it's telling news. I've been suffering from an infection of some kind over the past week, and have at several points completely lost my voice. When I then went looking for something to drink, I wanted something with some specific characteristics, but I've been unable to find:
- Should be served warm.
- Is savory and salty, not sweet.
- Isn't considered primarily a transport for caffeine.
- Doesn't contain a meal's worth of calories.
It may be the sickness talking, or perhaps the sudden onset of seasonal depression that I noticed this morning, but food just doesn't taste good to me anymore. It could also be that I'm just bored with food, or they've never made what I want.
So I've been eating instant noodles. But what I really need is something different...
