[edit] Pot Noodle Company?
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 and The Pot Noodle Snack Company are trademarks. Unilever Bestfood UK, Brooke House, Crawley, RH10 9RQ UK.
[edit] Expansion
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 --Benbread 13:29, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
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 :) --Benbread 14:08, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pots of the World?
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!
[edit] Hot Chicken Curry?
Its been a long time since I've seen the Hot Chicken Curry flavour in the shops, any idea if it still exists? --U4dandy 14:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Public Acceptance
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 Tiswas 12:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Tagged for cleanup to remove overtly commercial tone --Princess Tiswas 17:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
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. Resonanteye 23:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stay Hungry!
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)
