When you make ramen,Dear Utol (2025): Chick! Episode 47 your microwave beeps.

When Kylie Jenner makes ramen, the internet explodes and everyone becomes a critic.

The eighteen-year-old reality television star and makeup mogul made waves when, on Aug. 5, she snapchatted her favorite instant ramen additions of butter, garlic powder and an egg.

The snap seems innocuous. An egg is a classic way to upgrade instant ramen and traditional Kumamoto-style ramen is layered with garlicky flavor. Sure, Kylie's version is more "quick and dirty," but the flavor combination isn't anything either revolutionary or gauche.

So you might think, that is. After seeing her snapchat, the internet went berserk.

People defended her additions and rallied around her.

She sent curious ramen-lovers running to the kitchen to experiment:

Still others used it as a chance to let their ramen freak flags fly:

@KylieJenner I actually love adding cream of mushroom/chicken/broccoli to my ramen, makes it super creamy! You should try it #RamenNoodles

People think @KylieJenner ramen recipe is weird....meanwhile I will sometimes put crushed @Doritos in mine...

However, not everyone was so enamored by Kylie's additions nor the fact that the snap is the biggest thing to hit ramen since your dorm room's microwave.

Historically, ramen has been enjoyed globally by families and workers on a low income, who can further stretch that dollar by adding toppings. Kylie's ramen recipe might not be to your taste, but it's far from revolutionary or universally disliked. Adding mix-ins to packaged ramen is delicious, fun and traditional in some Asian cultures.

From a taste standpoint, others call her noodle bowl and the hubbub around it everything from gross to ridiculous.

Tried making my ramen like @KylieJenner did and it was gross

Thanks to the ramen recipe from @KylieJenner, I can live in peace.

@KylieJenner I only add water to my ramen noodles. Why you being so extra for ? 😭

Imagine studying journalism for years only to write articles about kylie jenner's 10 second or less snapchat about ramen.

— Buboy Bryant (@buboyballboy) August 9, 2016

If you don't like messing with your ramen packet, don't take it out on Kylie.

After all, she's just a girl with an outrageously popular lipstick collection, millions of social media followers and a hankering for a bowl of noodles.
