Here’s an interesting one from Japan found in a Zenpop box – check out zenpop.jp and use the coupon code RAMENRATER for a discount!
Here’s what they had to say – ‘CupNoodle (カップヌードル) is a long-selling Nissin Foods product that has overwhelmingly dominated the instant cup noodle market since its launch on September 18, 1971. It’s the original instant ramen. This year, they released a new, garlic-flavored version that is rich in aromas. It’s filled with well-seasoned noodles, a strong edge of garlic,
and delicious meat paired with ginger. The noodles are so thick that you’ll only see all the toppings once you pour the water in! We love it. The garlic flavor really stands out, so make sure you time this cup right. You might want to avoid eating them before a date with a loved one or an important meeting!’
The loved ones around me expect that I will usually smell like garlic, Thai basil, curry, or some other strong scent. That being said, let’s go.
