Pot Noodle Advert

JL690 · 07/02/2024 20:58

All the slurping just confirms pot noodles are not for me. I cannot stand slurping or other eating noises, so if that's meant to sell pot noodles to me, they can keep them.

Let's be real no one looks sexy eating a pot Noodle.

GalileoHumpkins · 20/02/2024 18:26

While I don't condone the eating of Pot Noodles I have to admit the hyperbole on this thread has given me a chuckle.

JamSandle · 20/02/2024 18:29

It's a horrible advert.

MadCatLady27 · 20/02/2024 19:47

It turns my stomach I have to frantically Scrabble for the mute button. Can't stand it 🤢

Other adverts that have me reaching for the mute button with haste are jet 2 and on the beach

I just googled it and it’s a bit gross and exaggerated but I was expecting something far worse. 😂😂

Slurping noodles is generally fine with me though, so maybe I have a high tolerance for slurping.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 20/02/2024 20:13

It's revolting. The woman looks like she's mid-vomit, with it all hanging out of her mouth. Horrible.

Whats only fans got to do with anything?

I wonder how people with these feelings cope in China and other countries where slurping up your noodles and soup is the done thing?

hexsnidgett · 20/02/2024 20:21

The bit that upsets me is that they put way too much water in it!
Pot noodles should be made with about a cm less water than recommended, a good pinch of salt, stir after a couple of minutes, then leave for as long as possible to go deliciously stodgy! (I set 20 minutes on my phone)
Eat politely with a fork - no slurping.

JL690 · 20/02/2024 22:08

@soupfiend No idea what Only Fans has to do with Pot Noodle, unless it's a fetish that is catered for on that site 🤔

I have no plans to go to China.

That was my first thought when I saw it; vile

MrsRobert · 24/02/2024 22:12

I wasn't aware I hated slurping noises until I saw this. Kind of like reacting to nails on a blackboard.

tsmainsqueeze · 24/02/2024 22:19

I can't stand either pot noodles or slurping eating noises , i feel sick watching someone eat one and the smell !!!
I loathe this advert but what freaks me out the most is that i think the sound is like a demonic voice.

Beaverbridge · 24/02/2024 22:21

Gives me the absolute rage. Don't buy them but wouldn't after seeing this. Wtf??!!.

amusedbush · 24/02/2024 22:22

I can’t bear it. I have extreme sensitivity to noise (I’m autistic) and any sort of mouth noise makes me want to rip my ears clean off my head.

I’m going to Japan for the first time later this year and I will be wearing ear plugs whenever I’m in the vicinity of people eating ramen 🙃

MissingMoominMamma · 24/02/2024 22:32

I haven’t seen the Pot Noodle one, but there’s a Maltesers ad on the radio, with two women talking and crunching at the same time. It makes me feel sick.

Pinktops · 24/02/2024 22:43

It’s absolutely revolting and the slurping seems to go on for so long 😳

PastTheGin · 24/02/2024 23:11

That one, daisy daisy daisy and the who gives a crap advert are the holy trinity of awful advertising.

andHelenknowsimmiserablenow · 25/02/2024 14:24

I cant stand this advert. I have to mute it until it is over. It actually makes me feel physically sick 😫.

This is most revolting ad I have ever seen...or heard. I have a great sense of humour but couple the vileness of pot noodles with this disgusting ad and I have turned into 'disgusted of Tunbridge Wells'

ssd · 25/02/2024 16:47

I agree its a bloody horrible advert and has totally put me off pot noodles!!

AhBiscuits · 25/02/2024 16:54

Meh. I can't stand slurping but this doesn't bother me that much because it doesn't sound real.
Went down a bit of a pot noodle ad rabbit hole though 😂

Disgusting. I will not be buying the c**p if they cannot advertise it in a sensible and sane way. I do not know what Advertising Standards Authority are playing at. Must be some morons on that....

blossomaf · 26/02/2024 22:27

I hate to watch noodle pot new advertise on tv...since i watched this advertise i wont buy noodle pot anymore...its disgusting
I dont know who made it but sound unprofessional

Flanjango · 26/02/2024 22:30

My son is autistic. He hates the sound so much he posted a tweet telling pot noodle he was coming for them as the sound is physically unpleasant for him. Not sure how exactly he phrased it. Expecting he will get another ban though 🤣

Lizzi56 · 26/02/2024 22:38

Someone mentioned daisy daisy daisy which I also found excruciating and the meerkats and that damn wombat. But this. This repulsive slurping, gluttonous, bad taste advert for a grotesque highly processed product is beyond the pale. Shame on you pot noodle
