Saw a guy patching his driveway with ramen noodles in Phoenix

I was visiting my sister in Phoenix last week and some dude in her neighborhood was on his knees filling a giant crack with instant ramen. Not even the good kind, just the cheap square packs. He said it was a hack he saw online and it would hold until he could afford real patch. I laughed until I realized my own driveway has a crack that's been sitting there for 8 months. Has anyone actually tried the ramen thing or is this just another internet joke that ruins your blacktop?

My neighbor in Tucson did this to his patio last summer and it actually held for like five months. He used the chicken flavored ones though, which I think made the difference because they've got more oil in the seasoning. The worst part was the smell when it rained, smelled like a dorm room for two weeks straight. Now there's a family of crickets living in the crack because they like the crumbs.
