Indomie wants its noodles to be the first thing a person partaking in a [Ramadan fast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovation-that-brings-us-together) goes after when fasting is over. Although the ads don't go as far as temping people with delicious-looking imagery, they may as well have since if you're hungry, your imagination is probably going wild reading these ads.

The [cheeky ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/believe-campaign) make remarks like "Because you're fasting, we won't show a steamy bowl of Indomie crowned with vegetables and a well-roasted chicken thigh." Although the ads sidestep actually showing pictures of the actual noodles themselves, the text is a fun way for the brand to stay relevant during the celebration, even though it's a little cruel.

The ads were developed for Indomie Noodles by the Noah's Ark Communications agency in Nigeria.
