Unending Search for the Non-Fascist Ramen

We all know that the typical ramen package is misleading, because it shows a picture with instructions for boiling the noodles with the flavoring and eating it as a kind of soup, when in fact many of us since childhood have enjoyed draining the noodles and then adding the "spice" or MSG. In fact some versions now offer a more "pluralistic" juxtaposition of the two possibilities. But once here in Poland I saw a package with a third picture, of just the package being opened, with the caption, "If you like, you can also just eat the noodles dry," or words to that effect. Ever since then, I've been looking for that package, with no success.
