Meat-Filled Noodle Cups

Nissin's Special Cup Noodle Featues Ten Times the Meat Cubes Than Normal

— September 16, 2016 — Lifestyle
As part of the celebrations for the 45th birthday of its ramen noodles, Cup Noodle created a limited-edition flavor called the 'Cup Noodle Big Mystery Meat Festival.'

While small meat cubes are often found in moderation inside instant noodle cups, this special celebratory product from Cup Noodle increases that number to include ten times the usual amount of processed pork cubes that can ordinarily be found in its products.

While many consumers have come to know "mystery meat" as a term to be wary of, the limited-edition noodle flavor form Nissin sold out in just three days. Alongside this offbeat Cup Noodle product, Nissin is also rolling out an all-new look for its other commemorative noodle packages.
Trend Themes
1. Limited-edition Meat-filled Noodle Cups - Increasing the amount of meat cubes in instant noodle cups opens opportunities for limited-edition flavor variations in the food industry.
2. Increased Processed Meat Content - The popularity of the increased processed pork cubes in Cup Noodle's limited-edition flavor suggests potential demand for instant ramen products with higher meat content.
3. Celebratory Product Releases - The success of Cup Noodle's limited-edition flavor and Nissin's revamped noodle packages presents an opportunity for other food brands to create special celebratory products to generate excitement amongst consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Instant Noodles - The trend of increasing meat content in instant noodle cups could disrupt the instant noodles industry by creating new product variations and attracting consumers looking for more flavorful options.
2. Processed Foods - The increased demand for Cup Noodle's limited-edition flavor indicates a potential market for processed foods with a higher meat content, opening opportunities for innovation in the processed foods industry.
3. Food Packaging - Nissin's all-new look for its commemorative noodle packages suggests a trend towards revamping food packaging to create a unique and visually appealing product, providing opportunities for innovation in the food packaging industry.
