Be careful of the Cup Shitsuki USB Humidifier: this design isn't a real cup of noodles. This inedible look-alike design is actually a humidifier. Just like the real version of instant noodle soup, you pour some water into the cup, wait three minutes and the humidifier kicks in.
You can also easily plug in the Cup Shitsuki USB Humidifer into a USB port -- people will never know that it's not real.
