Ramen eaters?

I'm a journalist working on a story about convenience foods in tech. Any Top Ramen/Cup Noodles devotees out there? If so how often do you eat them, what if anything do you add to make them more exciting?

I eat ramen a few times every month, and I usually add eggs (poached, sunny-side up, etc.) and green onions. My mom always made ramen like this. :)

If I am craving niurou mian but don't have the time to make it, I add some soy sauce, sometimes a bean paste, cinnamon, star anise, ginger, and sugar and let the broth simmer a little longer.

OP, I think it's more of a stereotype than reality. People will definitely find creatively lazy/cheap ways to eat, but I don't think Ramen is any more popular than, say, pizza... My $.02.
