99E Ramen' draws inspiration from an unexpected event at Niceaunties' solo exhibition of 1000 stills, titled 'Auntieverse'. During the show, a collector mistakenly placed a bid of 99 Ethereum instead of the intended 0.99 Ethereum on a piece featuring ramen, sparking widespread amusement on social media. Although the bid was later retracted and refunded, the incident left a lasting, humorous mark. The AI film portrays an auntie shopping in IKEA (Interstellar Kawaii Environments for Aunties) who decides to order food. Upon receiving the bill, she realises she has misinterpreted the price tag and cannot afford the ramen. The narrative takes a twist as she awakens from this dream, relieved to face no real-world repercussions, yet fondly reminiscing the delightful taste of the ramen.

This AI film is created, animated, and edited by Niceaunties in the programmes Dalle3, Magnific.ai and Runwayml.
