Talk:Cup Noodles

message: Nissin makes more flavors under their Cup Noodle (not Cup Noodles) brand, which, in my opinion, are better. For example, while in Singapore I tried their Cup Noodle Laksa. It contained more non-noodle solid ingredients (shrimp, veggies, spices) than anything I've ever seen in here the United States. And it was really good! Why don't they sell that here? -Amatulic 00:11, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The articles on Pot Noodles, Ramen, and cup noodles don't match. Was Nissin selling noodles in a disposable bowl before selling them in a cup? Is Cup Noodle a brand name or a type of noodle? --Gbleem 03:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a brand name. Nissin sells instant noodles in bowls too. "Cup Noodle" or "Cup Noodles" is the brand that's sold in a cup. -Amatulic 21:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm sure Nissin would say it isn't. Same as Xerox says Xerox isn't a generic term for an electrostatic image copier and Kimberly Clark says Kleenex is not to be used to identify any facial tissue not made by them. Bizzybody (talk) 03:23, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I would like to know if the "vegetable cup noodle," and the "cheddar cheese cup noodle" meets the criteria of vegetarianism. Also I mean strictly a vegetarian, as in no meat, basically a lacto-ovo vegetarian  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.242.198.144 (talk) 06:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I remember buying CUP NOODLE (no S) here in the USA years ago, most likely right after the change from Cup O Noodles. Bizzybody (talk) 03:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I find the brand with no S available in Asian grocery stores here in California. Otherwise, in mainstream US stores, I see only the brand with the S. ~Amatulić (talk) 13:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Alternate names shouldn't be documented in the main article in this way without evidence; here's why: That's a Mandela Effect. You may be seeing residuals, and having alternative names in this article makes it harder for those of us who are Old Timeliners to prove our case that the name was retconned. Even if there are residuals of other names the article should use only one name unless the company that made it releases a statement saying they used different names during distribution. 2601:482:4301:5850:3C94:5B3A:B7DC:FC0F (talk) 19:30, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think that the "Flavors" section is unneeded? First, I'm sure it's both incomplete and likely to always be incomplete. Second, it's nearly impossible to source. Most importantly, it arguably falls under WP:NOT and WP:UNDUE--we're not supposed to be providing a catalog of every variant that exists. I know a lot of pages on major food items do, but that doesn't mean its actually supported in policy. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Qwyrxian (talk) 11:03, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I strongly agree. Wholly unnecessary for a general encyclopedia, better suited for a food-, asian food- or even noodle-based website. 5.254.138.120 (talk) 22:57, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: A year later, I've gone ahead and cut this, leaving only the introductory sentence "Different flavors are available in other parts of the world, such as tom yum in Thailand, curry in Japan, crab in Hong Kong, Bolognese sauce in Brazil". --McGeddon (talk) 13:23, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

message: The brand appears to be "Cup Noodle" and not "Cup Noodles".
So: Why is the word "Noodles" written as a plural in the title of this article? 2601:200:C000:1A0:8E3:DA6A:214D:AEEE (talk) 16:05, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
