Adding quicklime ("considered safe by the FDA", sez
bickabebia) to the ramen would save energy!

The only problem is that the box is now worth more than the contents. |

[+] with ya right up to the babbling bit. |

Calcium hydroxide is already used in food prep, but there's no energy saved since you have to make the quicklime first... |
|

Needs an acid (citric or acetic's good) to balance out the pH or you'll be farting out liquid cement when it hits the HCl in the stomach. |

Probably improve the taste. |

I don't think we need to pay much attention to the FDA's opinion of building materials! |

Just-add-water instant self-heating soup cups are nothing
new. In fact, I'm reasonably certain Ramen even markets
them, or did at some point. There are some on the market
that don't even require additional water; you just break an
internal seal and shake them or something. Furthermore
they don't use anything nearly hazardous as quicklime. |

US military MREs and some of their international
equivalents have self-heating insert that can be used to
make an improvised flash bomb using the hydrogen it
releases during the exothermic reaction. |

Yes, but they all use a chemical reaction which is
compartmentalized away from the food. I think the
idea here is that the chemical reaction happens _in_
the food. |

Great idea... adding harmful industrial chemicals to
stuff that isn't actually food as the civilised world
understands it, and calling the result an improved
food. |

I don't do fishbones but this one comes close. |
