The current page lists "Sausage Roll" amongst the discontinued flavours. I've never heard of this, though, and the only reference I can find is one Ciao.co.uk review. Is it a joke?—Precedingunsigned comment added by62.56.106.125 (talk)11:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As I understand it, Pot Noodle is made by Unilever. However the article refers to the Pot Noodle Company. What is the realtion between these companies? (I believe the packaging says something like "Pot Noodle is a registered trademark of the Pot Noodle Company and Bestfoods UK (Part of Unilever)". Any ideas?
In reply, my scrumtious Pot Noodle chicken and mushroom says:
Pot [WTF!?], Pot Noodle andThe Pot Noodle Snack Company are trademarks. Unilever Bestfood UK, Brooke House, Crawley, RH10 9RQ UK.

This article is coming along nicely. Do you think we should push for it to become the Featured Article (of course needs more expansion) ? In the next couple of days i'll be adding lots more content and i hope other can too --Benbread13:29, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've done an expansion of the varieties section to include information of each type of noodle (standard, king pot, etc) - It's a little messy so if anyone can clean it i'd appreciate it :) --Benbread14:08, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I see no mention of the short lived Pots of the World editions. I can't remember enough about them to contribute but I remember the delicious szechaun chicken flavour!
Its been a long time since I've seen the Hot Chicken Curry flavour in the shops, any idea if it still exists? --U4dandy14:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
— Yeah, my favorite flavor back when it was around. I have not seen it availbe for for many years... so sad ;_;--Anon—Precedingunsigned comment added by81.153.196.137 (talk)12:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the obligatory [citation needed] tag for the claim that is has become any sort of favourite?
Similarly, the 44.6% statistic is lifted directly from Unilever's own site, and is analogous to original research.
The overall tone of the article is commercial --Princess Tiswas12:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And here I am, to attempt just that.

I've done as much as I can for the moment. I will check back in a day or two and if there are no cited sources for the lists of ads and their notability, or the popular culture and "social stigma of pot noodle" then I will hack those out. If anyone has sources,please cite them. I hope this edit helps it along a bit. I lived on Ramen (the US equivalent) for quite a few years during my apprenticeship, and I now absolutely can't even smell the stuff without feeling sick.Resonanteye23:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am correcting this part, as the "original" ad was in fact first shown in January 1993, I do remember the media controversy surrounding it which led to it being withdrawn.Willirennen 19.00, 9 December 2006 (utc)
Is it really accurate to say that Pot Noodle is a brand of "cup noodles (ramen-style snack)"?
A NissinCup Noodle (or similar), from what I've seen of them, is a sort of noodle soup, where the noodles are swimming around in liquid; you evidently have to eat the noodles with a fork then drink the rest. A Pot Noodle, on the other hand, is semi-solid in consistency, and can be eaten entirely using a fork with no liquid left over. The flavourings and noodle types are also very different.
A Pot Noodle looks absolutelynothing like what is shown on theramen page, whereas a Cup Noodle does.
The only things these snacks really have in common is that (a) they contain noodles and (b) they are prepared by pouring boiling water over them.217.155.20.16321:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I second that. In other countries such as the US it's hard to find anything like a pot noodle, cup noodles typically tend to be noodles in a watery soup. This was reflected in a news.bbc.co.uk article a while ago talking about home sick British ex-pats buying flown in pot noodle.80.195.28.12000:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not Crumlin - it was Croespenmaen (near Crumlin) - and the UK tailoring was conducted by Crown Noodle Co. in Croespenmaen (then run by Bombay Emporium). Crown Noodle had been making packet noodles for some time prior to their involvement with Pot Noodles. Source: my wife - she was the Quality Controller at Crown Noodle then and now lives in secret in Thame in Lord Williams' School.
Is it worth mentioning that Pot Noodle (albeit only one flavour) was involved in theSudan I scare[1], and also there was a recall due to faulty packaging in 2003?
What about a mention of when a shipment was refused entry into france (Beef and Tomatoe Falvour) due to foot and mouth fears, when there is no beef in a Pot noodle? might fall under trivia but if we're going to have a scares and recall section...
I've gone over the article a bit with some additions, including a variations section. Here's what i think needs doing to improve the article further, if anyone has time:

Also the statement that 'all varieties contain Monosodium Glutamate in the ingredients list' is plainly wrong - just look at the ingredients next time you're in the supermarket. (some do, sure, but not all). joemattinson, 17:21 UTC January 15th 2009
Perhaps a picture of an original variety, not of the hot noodle? Maybe more appropriate? --Coqueáujizz (talk)23:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I reached this article because I wondered if it is really safe to put hot water in a plastic cup. Will harmful chemicals leach into the water? Has there been any study on this?—Precedingunsigned comment added by124.106.193.60 (talk)17:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The list of current flavours should perhaps be updated to not separate the King versions but instead refer to them as variants of existing flavours (either to the side or indented below the non-king version of the flavour. Maybe the list needs a big rework entirely to include more relevant information (e.g. release date, if it's vegan(?), and of course if there is a king variant) as well as discontinued/past flavours. Maybe the list should indicate the entire date range for each flavour?Bailey's Wiki Editing Account (talk)18:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
