Nissin Sends Cup Noodles Everything Bagel!

In the last couple of years, there have been some interesting changes of varieties coming from Nissin Foods USA – neat ones! The biggest are these limited edition varieties – first we got Pumpkin Spice, then Breakfast – now it’s Everything Bagel. I still have high hopes for a pizza in a cup but we will have to wait and see. I think it’s a logical next step. Maybe a cheeseburger one. What’s also cool are the media kits they send out. This one’s especially cool – it makes noise! Yup – watch the video and check it out! ...see full post

ULTRA EPIC UNBOXING TIME: Frozen International Noodle Samples From PLN Food Co Ltd of Taiwan

After the first attempt, I didn’t think the fine folks at PLN Food Co. Ltd. of Taoyuan, Taiwan would be sending me another box of noodles. The products are frozen and kept on ice – but it does take a while – and shipping internationally is quite expensive for a small box, let along a heavier one. Well, they decided to send a second box. After 4 days I figured all was lost. I assumed they sent the same kind of box as before, and being stuck in customs in Honolulu, it probably was just baking in there. ...see full post
