What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: Ramen Express & More — May 19, 2026

Not every Amazon Mystery Box is going to blow the doors off. This one was on the lighter side — 22 total items, four of them notable — and we're just going to call it what it was: a perfectly decent mid box with a couple of genuinely useful finds tucked inside.

Two Cases of RAMEN EXPRESS Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Packs Are Nothing to Sneeze At

We pulled two of these — each one a 24-pack of 3 oz pouches, all plant-based, animal-free, and made right here in the U.S. with American flour. At $24.99 each, that's nearly $50 in ramen alone, and honestly? Pantry-staple finds like this are underrated. Someone in Hot Springs is about to eat very well for very little.

We also found two Toy Guns at $19.99 each. Sealed, brand-new. Simple, fun, the kind of thing that disappears fast when it hits the shelf.

The rest of the box was bulk bin material — plus dozens more bin-labeled items heading to our store bins. Nothing flashy, but everything finds a home eventually.

Total estimated retail value on the whole box came in at $189.94. Not our biggest opener, but that's the honest reality of the Amazon Mystery Box game — some days you find a TV, some days you find ramen. We still had a good time.
