I forgot about ramen noodles. Yeah, real championship charity teams run up that carb to dollar ratio pretty high.

The people who actually get the idea of charity but aren’t competitive bring in the random pile of canned okra, wax beans, and cream of asparagus soup. Much more fun. Not as much fun as a box of airline bottles of scotch would be, but much more thoughtful than a case of Top Ramen.

@michael:

maybe you could donate a six pack of beer and win on style alone.

Nah, they sent a memo around what would be acceptable and unacceptable. Booze, sadly, was in the second column.

@ Rip Ragged:

Mac and Cheese is kind of a Guilty Pleasure™ anyway, and I make a kick-ass version from scratch (basically like Alton Brown’s recipe from “Good Eats.)

When it comes to the packaged variety, though, I actually prefer the kind with the powdered cheese to the kind with the canned Cheez Whiz, but hey, that’s just me!

@michael:
Unfortunately, as usual, the vast majority of crap donated was ramen noodles. If I eat them I’ll only be hastening my inevitable aneurysm; and, as offensive weapons, they have all the tactical use of a nerf brick.
