A fascinating video titled "Next time, try Ramen" has been making waves on Imgur, showcasing an ingenious method for repairing damaged car seats using ramen noodles. The incredible transformation has left viewers both amazed and puzzled as they witness a seemingly impossible repair become a reality.

In the video, the damage on an older BMW seat is meticulously fixed using ramen noodles, sandpaper, and a few other tools. The repair process is so seamless that one commenter remarked, "I knew a guy who could work this kind of magic on aircraft. My job was to inspect his work, and to be honest, I could never see the actual repair. He could make any damage just disappear; it was magical."

The video has sparked a variety of reactions, with some viewers appreciating the technical skill involved. One user stated, "The before and after is amazing, but you have to wait until the end." Another commenter humorously added, "Does this work for emotional damage? Asking for a friend."

While some viewers were impressed by the color matching and overall result, others were curious about the tools used. "I don't get why the sandpaper needed to be round?" questioned one user, reflecting the curiosity of many who watched the video.

Others shared personal anecdotes and practical advice. One viewer commented, "Why do I go through the expense of putting fitted seat covers in all of my cars? Because I don't have the talent to do this. Oh, and also... dog hair. So, so much dog hair." Another user humorously suggested, "Alternately, quit smoking," pointing out that such repairs might be unnecessary if smoking in cars were avoided.

Despite the impressive demonstration, some viewers were left wondering about the practicality and accessibility of the method. "Just use the iron-on vinyl repair kit. They were hot in the 70s. Mix, patch, and iron. No problem!" one user suggested, hinting at simpler alternatives.

Overall, the video has captivated audiences with its unexpected use of ramen noodles for upholstery repair, prompting discussions about DIY fixes, the art of color matching, and the ingenuity behind such creative solutions. Whether as a practical guide or a source of entertainment, "Next time, try Ramen" has certainly left a lasting impression.

good repair but it's just another reason people aren't allowed to smoke in my car.

Is this the 70s when everything was vinyl and everyone smoked?
