Their pH is very different. OJ is under 4 in most cases. Depending on the ramen and the ingredients, the pH could easily be above 8.

Ramen is often made with kansui, which is an alkaline solution that brings the pH of ramen up to 9-10. The noodles themselves are 6-7, ramen made without kansui but a still salty traditional broth will be around 8-9.
The pH of listerine and orange juice are both around 3, so the clash of their flavors is accentuated by their acidity. Listerine + ramen with kansui would probably just taste like a little bit of a minty tang, but relatively smooth since the pH would balance out. Probably wouldn't be all that bad.
Note, I'm no ramenologist, I just Googled some shit
