Instant Ramen-Inspired Lifestyle Series

Nissin's Cup Noodle Quest Drops a Range of Lifestyle Goods

Nissin introduces the new set to join its Cup Noodle Quest which highlights a selection of lifestyle goods. It arrives in the form of a special life-sized 'mystery meat' bean bag that is designed in the same color and texture as the protein seen in many Cup Noodle offerings.

This is followed by a playful pair of headphones with each side boasting a ramen cup along with a fork that is used as a microphone. Notably, it is entirely functioning with Bluetooth connective services as well. The rest of the items include the model car, a water bottle in the shape of Cup Noodles, a mahjong set, and a special large 6.6-foot Cup Noodle tent.
