To not only hate the Noodle ad, but wonder about the danger.

I do hate most advertising in truth. But the bloody Pot Noodle one with the girl in the staff break room, making and eating her ?lunch so utterly obnoxiously really really annoys me. I mute/change channel/walk away every time - and it is on so often, so this happens a lot.
But, thinking about it, how safe is it to inhale a mouthful of them like that, I can't help but wonder/imagine, IF one has a good strong "suck", tis clump of soggy flour and water (and whatever other nastiness is in there...) could shoot straight into the back of the throat, where it can't be chewed, but is probably too big to swallow.
I don't think I am BU - - but wonder if this concern has occurred to anyone else?

This thread is bat shit crazy. It's really not going to encourage people to inhale their pot noodles or start a tiktok trend among teens fgs. What she's doing in the ad isn't a new way to eat them, loads of people slurp them and live to tell the tale. It's actually incredibly odd to get worried about this to be honest.

You never know really.

And I never said it would start a craze - let's hope people have more sense.
Oh wait, marshmallows - dry crackers anyone|??

It is a stupid ad (amongst many these days) for an unhealthy and largely tasteless product.

Pot Noodles are too salty and awful.

You can make your own lasagna with the fresh noodles and that's tricky because they are not easy to deal with .

However vegetable lasagna is up my list of brilliant recipes that I know off by heart that and a Wonderful pasta carbonara .

Yes adverts like the new popchips one I love tho. Sky does seem to do more adverts targeted at my age group tho.

I'm in my 30's I also love white chocolate and dogs and galaxy caramel chocolate. And those kabuto noddles have around 65g of
Salt per 100g serving I think ?.
