It was kinda late on a thursday night. I was doing homework and was suddenly hungry. I think about running down to Cornell's North Campus convenience store "Bear Necessities" (yes, its that kind of bear...) but decide against it... probably because i'm too lazy. I look around my room. I have a few drinks, but very little in the way of food. I see a 3-pack box of "cup-a-soup's" lying in the corner. Jackpot. I go for it. I am about to get up and go fill my mug with hot water in the floor kitchen when it hits me.

I can eat it without water

Why?
Because the water can't possibly do anything to change its edibility, it only makes the noodles softer and spread the flavor around. So i whip out my trusty finger and get to work scooping out the dry noodles, little pieces of chicken, and concentrated flavor. Sure my roommate gave me a very curious look when he came in, but i saved time and was no longer hungry.

I recommend you try this once or twice, you may never add water to these things again!
