So Cup Noodle Light makes women wanna…take…off…their…clothes… If any guys out there are wondering what to cook tonight for your date, “friend,” girlfriend, wife, etc, I suggest you stock up on these NOW!
Now, I wonder if these will make their way to the states…
Cup Noodle fanatics rejoice (at least if you’re in Japan. Cup Noodle fans in other countries can simply sulk in the corner)! Enter the My Vending Machine contest before the end of March to win one of 3000 home Cup Noodle vending machines!
I’m not sure what the point is: if pouring hot water into a styrofoam cup isn’t challenging enough for you, this rube goldberg machine is right up your alley. Frankly, I don’t care that it’s not particularly practical. I would definitely eat more Cup Noodles if I had one of these. I want one!

An elderly woman in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, became ill after eating a Nissin Cup Noodle. After an examination, paradichlorobenzene, which is used in mothballs and insect repellent, was found in the soup. The specific Cup Noodle was traced back to a factory in Ibaraki Prefecture and was manufactured on August 30 of this year. Nissin President Susumu Nakagawa announced that his firm will voluntarily recall about 500,000 Cup Noodles that were produced on the same date.
(By the way, for anyone who’s wondering, Cup Noodles are known as Cup Noodle (singular) in Japan.)

I came across a collection of Nissin Cup Noodle commercials that included this gem. I was in a Japanese exchange student program at the time, and this was my host mom’s favorite commercial and celebrity (she even had a poster of Ahhhnooold holding the kettles). She was also quite amused by the Arinamin “V” energy drink ads (the drinks on the other hand weren’t quite so amusing…blech). Ah, natsukashii yo!
Thanks to a radiused corner.
It sounded tempting, but now that I’ve seen the video…it’s...
I’m glad to hear their Noodles were only slightly overcooked when you...2009
