I’m pretty sure that the Maruchan ramen flavor packs for chicken and beef are just ground up bouillon cubes, the taste is indistinguishable.

  That’s what chicken/beef flavour are.
  
  Source: ate a scoop of powdered chicken bouillon and tasted like chicken flavoured snacks.

    I’m suddenly wondering why powdered bouillon in a shaker jar isn’t an actual product yet. It’s no weirder than things like popcorn seasoning or bacon salt, after all.

      It is. On Amazon. 😂
      
      Incidentally, Amazon has a pharmacy where you can get Diltiazem. Probably also in a bulk-pack shaker to dust over your food.
