From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mr. Noodles is the brand name of a Canadian instant noodles product. There are two common, and possibly more types of packaging. The more compact packaging appears as a simple rectangle of dried noodles covered by a plastic wrapping. Inside the plastic wrapper along with the noodles is a foil package similar to the packaging of a towellette, fillied with powder of the advertised flavour. Another common package is a styrofoam cup with a cylindrical block of noodles inside. Between the top of the noodles and the rim of the cup is a marked or etched line showing the fill line. Boiling or otherwise very hot water is poured inside until the line is reached, at which point the paper covering which had previously sealed the container is lowered; a few moments later and the noodles are ready. This type of packaging often has several dried vegetables inside, such as tomato, corn, or peas, and the previously mentioned seasoning mix already on the noodles. The cupped packages can be bought singularly, dual-packed, or sometimes in multipacks.

Some people prefer to eat the rectangularly packaged noodles raw, simply sprinkling the seasoning onto the block of noodles and eating it similar to a large cookie, whilst the packaged directions are to place the noodles in boiling water for a few minutes and then add the seasoning.

A good selling point is that since the noodles are almost identical to instant ramen they are extremely cheap; A rectangular package costing sometimes as little as $0.25; while the cups are normally $0.70-$0.90 each. This makes them very cost effective, and a favourite of students on low incomes.
