True story: a college student who tried to save money and replaced all his meals with cup noodles died after a month. I initially thought he died from malnutrition, but I've always heard cup noodles are unhealthy in themselves.

It's not an urban legend. The guy was in my brother's class.

First of all, this story is an urban legend. It dates back to at least the 1970's. No college student died by replacing all his meals with a particular food. And there is nothing that will kill you in tom ramen or cup noodles.
On the other hand, those cups of instant noodles are not good for you, nutritionally. They are extremely high in fat and sodium, and have very low nutrient content. So if you ate them exclusively, you would probably be malnourished and chubby at the same time. Which would be horrible.
