Don't call me cheap Charlie

Ones in a while I fancy Mama Noodles. I know they are not healthy at all. I know the prices in Thailand they cost just a few baht. But being in OZ now and buying them sometimes they are verry expansive. Yes, I do know about import duty and all that, but the freight is minimal and there is no weight in them. Why are they so expansive? 

I know wine is expansive in Thailand, but I guess because alcohol is involved but why noodles? Anybody knows?

Ohh ok.

 

Yeah I do not know why noodles are "expansive" given the relatively small packing size.

 

Unless of course your are talking about the absorbtion of water to rehydrate them then they get bigger I guess.

 

Kinda like  tampons expand when they are inserted and start absorbing.

I always thought they weren't expansive enough, need at least 2 packets

Because they expand. 

 

I prefer the expensive ones.

If you can afford cask wine, surely you can afford some Mama Noodles to compliment such fine wine.

They expand in your stomach if you eat them dry

Then you don't go to the toilet for a week. I suppose you also save on toilet paper and water for the flushing.
