I had to take a picture when I saw this at Wallmart. This reminds me of an article about different chips/crisps flavours being created for different countries that I read some time ago. It was surprisingly interesting. Initially, though, I saw the last post by Ceka, and my brain just noticed cup noodles, didn't notice the flavour, but the question about a college campus, and thought the WTF of them charging $128 for a cup of cup noodles would turn out as being some kind of "whole semester of cup noodles supply for college kids" deal, before I realised it's $1.28, and about the flavour being perceived as yucky, after a split second of "ah, hyper super ultra limited special edition cup noodles that they somehow have the hope of getting "weeboes" to buy, because a manga creator, for fun, made it a popular chatacter's favourite flavour, and Nissin noticed and actually created it" 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more seriously, small peeve, the whole world should be able to enjoy our Patatje Joppie flavour. Edited July 11 by Sid Nagy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This store marks down items that don't sell, so maybe if it goes to half price, just to report back how it tastes, but there's no nutritional value in this besides carbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google tells me there are more than 300 seasonal and regional flavors of KitKat bars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are different regional "dessert noodles", etc. but I don't think the venerable "Cup Noodles" brand is doing themselves any favors by straying from their normal offerings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I always noticed when going abroad is the difference in branding for these specific crisps / chips. In the UK they're called Walkers you see and not Lays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayashe Ninetails Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Peeve: Watching high-profile trial livestreams on YouTube when comments are left on. This is the worst platform for this. I should just close the chat panel, but it's like driving by an accident. Can't turn away. Go on, chat, with your bad self. Show us just how many cucumbers you can spam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are only available in specialty stores here (of which, in fairness, there are actually quite a few). Along with Orange Club Bars and Rowntree Black Currant Pastels (both of which I would happily murder for). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few posts back, someone said basically that Walkers and Lays are the same brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
