Ahead of summer exam season this year, Pot Noodle will be touring its noodle vending machines across the UK. While these machines have the potential to fuel hungry students, they also will help them with their studies and actually encourage them to "use their noodle."
The vending machines are designed to display certified exam board questions to test students and those who are able to answer correctly will be treated to a free pack of Pot Noodles. Other prizes are also available, including a special golden ticket that will grant one lucky winner tuition for a year.
Pot Noodle is calling its creation the "world’s first revision powered vending machine" and it also offers general revision tips for students to help them prepare during the stressful exam period.
