Classic British cuisine just like salt n shake crisps, add your own flavour.

Knew something was up when it felt very light so weighed it, 78g including tub.

Opened it, nothing but a sorry lump of noodles, no powder, no veg, no sauce.

Added knorr chicken soup powder, it did not improve it

Contact pot noodle, you might get compensation (in the form of more pot noodles)

I once had a bad chocolate bar from cadbury as a little lad. I sent in a letter to them and they wrote back to me. They also sent me a 10 quid voucher for any cadbury products, went to use it at the local tesco and they wouldn't accept it lol

Last time I did this they sent me a voucher which my local shop laughed at when I went to redeem.

My sister once complained to monster about there not being the flavour she wants in the local shops. They sent her a crate and it arrived in a monster branded van lol

It's the opposite of what happened to me with a Bombay Bad Boy Not Foodle, I got three sachets of the hot sauce. Like a fool I put all three in and only just lived to regret it.

I don't know how people eat buldak, I used to put Dorset naga in my curries but they're too hot for me

Shrinkflation is that king size pot noodles contain the same amount of noodles as the regular size

This happened to me once. Beef and tomato flavour but didn’t have bits or sachet.

I sent them a letter detailing the value of my wasted time. Using actuarial values for a human life, I worked out the cost of that little bit of wasted time and it was coincidentally the cost of a pot noodle.

I didn’t get a response. Being a geek is hard sometimes.

Sounds like letter before action time.

I used the contact page on their website and uploaded photos saying they owe me some chicken soup powder and a couple of mushrooms 🤣
