    @Pessimipposaurus: It's a little known fact that every Japanese website is actually an ARG... if you click thru enough random links to bizarre Japanese websites, you'll eventually land at the splash page to the upcoming epic "Japan: The Movie"!

    So whats the SI-unit for flavors? How do you really count flavors? Because I sure as hell couldn't name 40 million separate flavors...also is there a random button? It would be like those chocolate frogs from Harry Potter.

    I would have the cup dispensed directly to the chamber (without the clear plastic wrap) then the water nozzle could puncture the foil top before filling it with hot water. At the end of the cycle it'd stick in a pair of chopsticks (or a fork) and stir it for you. Then it's done.


    Yes, v2.0 WILL wipe your ass, too.

    So, Giz. When are you going to grant us a "PIZZA" button that we can program to our favorite online pizza ordering site? Sometimes I get hungry when browsing this place.

    We shouldn't have to peel the lid off. If a peeling mechanism is too hard to design, there should just be a metal hot water tube that punctures the cover. It is made of foil after all.


    Come on Cup Noodle... just one step short of perfection.

    If its a Japanese product for a Japanese market, why does it say CUP NOODLE in English in such large letters, seemingly the centerpiece of the label?
