If you don't have milk...

If you're talking about Ramen, have eaten it dry once when I was too lazy to boil water, but I didn't enjoy it enough to do it again.
Fun fact, I was in my 20s before I realized you were supposed add the seasoning packet to the water you boil the noodles in. All my life to that point, I drained the water and added the seasoning packet to the wet noodles. I still actually prefer it that way, but like the "right" way as well.
Cut down on fat and double down on sugar? I'm sure that bore fruit.
I'd rather eat the cereal pieces dry, heck, I have eaten them dry in the past as a child when we we're out of potato chips / crisps.
As for ramen... when I make instant ramen I sometimes break off small chunks while I'm waiting for the water to boil, but I wouldn't ever eat the entire packet like that.
They're probably better with milk even if you did have potato chips to have them with.
I didn't know what ichiban was and bitter experience has taught me that I would generally rather not know the results of googling japanese words I have read on internet forums.
Now that earlier posters have spared me the need to do that, yes, I think you are.
Ichiban translates to "number one". They used to have these ads where a dude would say "ichiban is number one" which would be really clever if anybody spoke Japanese where I lived.
Eating it dry was a normal school lunch thing where I grew up. Cost $0.33 to $1.25 depending on how fancy it was and it's basically a full meal of calories, and multiple meals over multiple days of salt. I tried it again recently and I got instant heartburn from the salt so I'll be leaving that habit in the past.
Ok, so you would eat a noodle brick dry? Like, just unrap it and take a bite out of the corner? By salt do you mean the flavouring packet? How big were these noodle packets? I suddenly have so many questions
I just crush it up and add half the flavour pack and eat the chunks with a spoon. Nice and crunchy.
Holy cow!
Muwahahahahaha... the unflushable turd resurfaces. *blup*
We would break it up in the bag and then carefully open the top so it still holds all the noodles. Dump in the spice packet, shake and pour it into your mouth. Drathnoxis is much more sodium concious than we ever were, but these days I get heartburn when I touch salt lamps and he can still eat those noodles so I can't pretend that careful application of spice packets has no upside.
Dry, but why at all is the ultimate question, unless you really mean a physical lack of access to milk. Otherwise, if lactose intolerance is an issue there is Lactaid milk. If cholesterol is an issue there is sugar free plain Chobani oat milk. It only takes a week or so for personal tastes to adjust to a dietary change.
Oatmeal is another solution.
