The noodles are compacted because when heated with water, they will expand. Once expanded, they will fill the cup. You're not being cheated or ripped off. If the dried noodles filled the cup completely, once heated they would overflow. It's done this way on purpose. Just like a bag of chips and air.
The air in the chips bags isn't there originally. When the chips are filled into the bag, it fills to the top. But as it travels and is sealed, the chips settle, therefore creating more room in the bag.
I just tried to stop a chuckle in my lab because of you, Grilled. I am wearing headsets, but by the looks I got just now I am guessing I sounded like I was choking on my breath. Thanks for that lol
C'mon guys! Really??? Thanks to that gap, without that gap, the noodles wouldn't have space to expand. Hot water go to the bottom and the noddles get "cooked" from bottom to top. If there were no gap, no noodles in 3min for noone.
