Pot Noodle Advert

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.

I can't bear it and it doesn't make it stick in my head to buy a pot noodle it makes me feel sick at the thought.
They are disgusting anyway, the little packet ramen noodles are so much tastier.

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 🤣

I know how he feels. I turned the TV off when it came on today.

I use Pot Noodles as a standby for when I am too fatigued to prepare proper food because of my health problems. I have just received a bulk delivery of some. That advert has totally put me off eating them.

It's utterly fucking foul isn't it? 😆 The woman looks revolting, (slurping like a pig in a pigswill, and with the noodles hanging from her gob,) and she sounds revolting. What a way to put people off Pot Noodles Unilever!

I hate pot noodles anyway, and I am not a food snob. I just think they're minging. I remember Lister from Red Dwarf saying 'Pot Noodles aren't too bad, especially when you sprinkle them over real food.' Grin

She almost inhales the noodles. I’d choke if I ate like that. Plus standing up. I think they would sell more if they marketed it as comfort food. Kinda sit down and savour because it preps quickly and so you have time to enjoy it. I think I’d probably still give them a miss though 😂

That noise.

It’s pretty much what my DH sounds like drinking a cup of tea it makes me sick.

Well someone who thought up this digusting advent has No Table manners what's so ever!! Every time this is on I mute it as it puts me off my food!!! Worse than the scary face Tesco advert which they no longer show, let's hope this advert doesn't last long.🤢😡

beachcomber70 · 29/02/2024 19:06

It's a great message for kids isn't it: adults can eat like pigs, have food hanging out of their mouths, make disgusting noises whilst eating...and it's ok, it's even funny. Children could see it as 'normalised' behaviour as and it's on the TV every single day, numerous times.

It's revolting, and I would never buy the rubbish anyway, Whoever thought this up, whoever approved it should be ashamed. It's juvenile and the work of a moron/morons.

Markol · 29/02/2024 21:11

I totally agree. It is disgusting and extremely annoying. We have definitely reached absolute rock bottom when this is shown to encourage anyone to buy it. A race to the bottom! Sad, very sad!

superplumb · 01/03/2024 07:45

I hate it too, but I also hate the noise of the water going into it. I have issues with weird noises atm.

PawsisShady · 01/03/2024 11:48

I have misophonia and it makes me white hot with rage

OoohLovelySlippers · 01/03/2024 12:01

Agree. I have misophonia and it causes me physical pain.
I've paid for ad free ch4 so I can watch mafs Australia.

Yoooooo · 01/03/2024 22:34

Yeah it absolutely disgusting I hate the way they slurp some people ain't wanna eat a pot noodle again

NotTerfNorCis · 02/03/2024 22:51

Just saw this ad. They've changed the sound and put text over it acknowledging they got a lot of complaints!

JL690 · 03/03/2024 08:36

I think I want to see it now 😂

It has this warning on it now.

I mute this ad as it's just awful
Pot noodles are horrible as it is

SoIf · 22/03/2024 11:41

The McDonalds winning sips ad is almost as bad!! Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I only saw it for the first time today. Slurping through a straw urghhh.

What's with all this slurping and chewing with mouths open in ads. Just wrong and bad manners🙁

It's rather unpleasant, but society as a whole seems to be moving in this direction. Just 50 years ago, the idea of a woman having an OnlyFans account would have been shocking, now it seems like every other mum at the school has one. Pot Noodle know their target audience well and are tailoring their advertising perfectly for their slurptastic customers!

Who do you think their target audience is?

VenetiaHallisWellPosh · 22/03/2024 11:58

Haha. In one way this ad has got your attention which is the point.

DD(17) has just got into PN and loves the Hot Bombay one.

Earlier in the week DD & I were in Wagamama slurping ramen noodles. It was nom.

Doll67 · 28/03/2024 17:56

the worse advert ever, slurping is disgusting, it put me off eating a pot noodle, I tried to eat one today but I couldn’t stop thinking of that disgusting sound and binned it, I won’t be buying another

Lifestooshort71 · 28/03/2024 18:00

The offensive Pot Noodle has replaced the slurping with nom-nom-nom

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 28/03/2024 19:10

Yes! - we’ve just watched a slurp-free version.

JL690 · 29/03/2024 09:39

Am I the only one who hasn't seen the slurp-free version?

I saw the slurp free one this week and it has a warning on it 😂

Absolutely hated the slurps and so pleased I didnt have to pause it until over. But the McDonalds slurpy drink one keeps popping up now to annoy me.
