Giant Inflatable Cup Noodles: Imaginary Dinner For Days

Posted on by

Are you a huge Nissin Cup Noodles fan? Big enough to buy a giant inflatable likeness of the product for display in your home or office? Well if you are, you’re in luck (also, a rare breed), because Nissin is selling this giant inflatable Cup Noodle through their fan store for $35. For reference, $45 will buy you a 72-pack of the real deal on Amazon (affiliate link), although I’m sure you already knew that if you’re such a big fan.

The giant Cup Noodle measures approximately 17″ X 15″ with a cardboard top and bottom, and, per the product website is “for display only.” Granted I’m not sure what else anybody could or would do with a giant inflatable Cup Noodles, but now that I think about it I really don’t want to know.

Nissin Cup Noodles are a staple of any college diet. I practically lived on them for six years, and I think it’s safe to say that I’ve already ingested more than 2,000% of my recommended lifetime allowance of sodium. Do I cry solid salt crystals? Just ask my wife if she can even remember the last time we ever had to buy salt from the grocery store.

Cup Noodles Special Edition Yahtzee: Come On, Five Shrimps!

Cup Noodles: without them, I probably would have starved to death in college. Those and $1 frozen store-brand personal pizzas saved my life. Not my grades though. No… not my grades. YAHTZEE: Cup Noodles is a special edition of Yahtzee that comes in a Cup Noodles stylized cup and features dice printed with its common ingredients, including carrots, corn, lime, shrimp, beef, and chicken. Personally, my favorite flavor is Hot & Spicy with Shrimp.

Despite the above photo, the set does NOT include any actual noodles. A shame, I know. Available on Amazon (affiliate link), playing a game will likely last longer than it takes me to eat a real Cup Noodles, my current record of which, at least according to people who witnessed it, was “disgustingly fast.” The key is slurping.

Will I be disqualified for putting all the dice in my mouth after I don’t roll what I want? My wife is nodding her head, yes, making it easy for me to decide who is and isn’t invited to game night this week. So, is there a rule set for one-player Yahtzee?

Who Doesn’t Want to Eat Noodles with a Giant Sword Fork?

Look at this picture. Yes that is a giant Final Fantasy sword with a fork at the end. With it you can slay yourself some delicious noodley dinner.

Apparently, the only way you can get this 24″ long fork is by winning a contest in Japan. However, you can buy some Final Fantasy packaged Cup Noodles. These noodles are tasty and perfect for people who want to eat, but have little money. We’ve all lived off packaged ramen at some point. I just think having a giant sword fork would make the noodles taste better.

Granted, a fork this massive would take all the noodles out of the cup at once and that is just asking for a major lip burn. There appear to be 16 different special Final Fantasy Boss Collection Cup Noodle packages, and Japanese fans can pre-order them now. Pre-order noodles?
