In a scene that seems straight out of a slapstick comedy, shoppers at a supermarket in Assu, Brazil, went into full frenzy over instant noodles priced at a jaw-dropping 0.01 Brazilian Real. The chaos, captured on camera, unfolded faster than the noodles could cook, with customers shoving and diving for their beloved packs. It’s a reminder that when prices hit rock bottom, decorum often takes a nosedive, too.
Within just three minutes, the aisles turned into a noodles fracas where packs were snatched with wild abandon and the atmosphere resembled a mosh pit at a punk concert. Who knew that some cheap ramen could incite such passion? Between the shoving matches and sprinting shoppers, it’s hard not to chuckle at the lengths people will go to satisfy their cravings—especially when it comes to ramen. It makes you wonder what other ordinary items might spark a similar frenzy!
