Japan’s Nissin unveils caffeinated ‘gaming Cup Noodles’ | CNN Business
The noodles will be released in Japan starting September 18, with the garlic and black pepper flavor priced at 280 yen (about $1.90) and the curry flavor sold at 298 yen (about $2).

I mean garlic and black pepper are probably as addictive
garlic and onion powder = flavor
I mean I kinda hate caffeine now, but can’t go a day without freshly cracked pepper and garlic. I use white pepper though so ymmv
No soup? how.
Noodles without broth?

less water and the powder turns into a sauce instead of a souplike a pot noodle
these sound fucking grim though lmao

Back in college me and the boys decided to try gingseng up. Turns out that ginseng has certain side effects.
After the revolution we’re going to come out with a new version of this, but when you open it instead of noodles it contains a GPS tracker and a piece of paper telling you to report to the gulag immediately
yeah… i’d try it
Honestly sounds kinda good, better than more corn syrup
