The world of DIY has no limits when it comes to resourcefulness and creativity, but even I was shocked by the results of these home repairs done using instant ramen noodles.
Yes, those cheap packages of food that likely sustained you during your college days are also pretty effective at fixing everything from your car to your bathroom sink.
Don't believe me? Check these repairs out.
In each of these repairs, cyanoacrylate glue is applied to the surface and ramen. The chemical reaction allows the ramen to harden and make it sturdy enough for the repair.
A hammer was used to crush them so that they could fill the hole. Once the ramen had filled the hole, the area was sanded smooth and sealed.
I know, it seems like a joke at first, right? But, then again, you can't argue with these results.
Sawdust and styrofoam are common fillers for holes and repairs around the home. Instant ramen noodles are actually not that different from those materials if you think about it.
Besides home repairs, people have also uploaded videos of ramen being used for auto repairs.
You can't even tell there was a hole there before. Since auto repairs can be pretty pricey, this is actually a great hack.
Cardboard was used to create a mold for the ramen so that it would have a curved edge to match the bowl. When the ramen was dry, the area was shaped and sanded.
And now this person can enjoy a bowl full of ramen... out of their ramen bowl. It's weird if you think about it, but also genius.
Someone fixed a cracked sink with instant ramen noodles. Every time I use a sink from now on, I'm going to wonder if it's actually made out of ramen. I mean, you really can't tell the difference.
