Ramen noodle heist

Posted 2023-11-20 09:44:42


In 2018, a truck trailer was stolen from a parking lot in Georgia. The trailer was filled with Ramen noodle packages and its contents were valued at $98,000. What do you wonder about this heist? Do the math! Could $98,000 worth of Ramen even fit in a tractor trailer?

Thanks to Geoff Krall for the idea of this activity and permissions.
