'Cup Noodles' Maker Launching Pumpkin Spice Ramen

On Wednesday, Nissin Foods, the inventor of Cup Noodles, officially kicked off pumpkin spice season in the most unexpected but tasty way: with pumpkin spice-flavored noodles. The new, limited-edition Cup Noodles Pumpkin Spice flavor invites lovers - and haters - of the inescapable fall flavor to try the newest cup on the block when it exclusively hits Walmart shelves nationwide in late October.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Cup Noodles is serious about taking pumpkin spice in-a-cup to the next level by going head-to-head with the latte that kicked off the seasonal flavor craze. According to a nationwide survey1, pumpkin spice is definitely not dead. In fact, more than 50 percent of Gen Z respondents are obsessed with all things pumpkin spice. What's more - 60 percent say that pumpkin spice is their fall jam, while an ultra-devoted 10 percent crave the flavor year-round.

Unlike the original Cup Noodles, this fall-inspired creation is saucy, not soup-based. Made with a special pumpkin seasoning that's the perfect blend of sweet, savory and spiced, these saucy noodles are ready with just a splash of water and four minutes in the microwave. For the full pumpkin spice experience, top it with whipped cream for the quickest, tastiest and most outlandish pumpkin spice in-a-cup experience you never knew you needed!

Nasty, yuk. Cup O' Noodles is bad enough, and PS is also bad, putting the two together just shows how bad the public's taste really is. I have a hard time just being in that aisle in the grocery store. The idea of actually paying for and consuming something like that is beyond comprehension for me.

(I wish there were emojis of the stages of dying by food poisoning snowmen from that old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon!)

Here it is...
