Further... if the grease contained in the flaver sachet of one packet of instant noodles is enough to change the structure of approximately half a litre of water in such that it will boil over the pot and onto the stovetop if added all at once. how much oil would you need to do the same?

Hint: it isn't the grease that does that and it isn't, "changing the structure of [the] water". It is the sudden addition of many, many gas nucleation points (the powdered flavour stuff) that allows water vapour to form lots of bubbles. The grease and stuff do help the foam hang around for a bit longer but that's about it.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Half a litre is approximately a pint.

Do not forget, Turd, that the Aneristic order is of apparent order.  This is not to say that order is not useful.  The brain primarily recognizes patterns, so it's not so hard to see that naturally we'd measure things on a base ten system.


All hail the gallon. >.>

I burn the noodles.  Every time.  Even when I'm standing over the damned pot with a wooden spoon in my hand.
Screw the oil.  Screw the noodles, while you're at it.
The only Italian food I can cook is Chef Boyardee.
