Get ready to dive into a culinary dimension where instant ramen meets the classic flavors of an American breakfast staple. Cup Noodles is launching their all-new “Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese” flavor, blending the savory essence of an everything bagel with the creamy indulgence of cream cheese.
An Unorthodox Marriage: Ramen and Bagels
The concept may seem unusual at first, but Nissin Foods USA, the parent company of Cup Noodles, believes otherwise. They recognize the shared appeal of quick and convenient on-the-go meals in both instant ramen and breakfast bagels. Moreover, dedicated ramen enthusiasts have already been experimenting with adding the beloved everything bagel spice blend to their noodles.
Creamy Twist on a Fan Favorite
Priscila Stanton of Nissin Foods USA shared their inspiration behind this innovative flavor creation: “We know that our noodle fans are always searching for ways to elevate their instant ramen experiences. So, we decided to heed their suggestions and give our consumers’ favorite noodles a creamy, indulgent twist.”
Price, Availability, and Sustainability
The Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese instant ramen is currently gracing the shelves of select Walmart stores and Walmart.com, with an affordable price tag of around .18. Accompanying its launch is the return of the nostalgic Cup Noodles Breakfast, catering to those who prefer a sweeter morning ramen.
Both products offer the convenience of a four-minute preparation time, using the iconic cup design that has become synonymous with Cup Noodles. Additionally, Nissin Foods is transitioning towards more eco-friendly packaging in its pursuit of carbon emission reduction.
The Evolution of Cup Noodles’ Culinary Explorations
Cup Noodles has a history of venturing into unique and unexpected flavor territories. In the past, the brand has introduced limited-time options such as pumpkin-spiced ramen, breakfast ramen with flavors ranging from sausage and eggs to pancakes and maple syrup, and even spicy chicken with pork ribs flavor.
These culinary adventures demonstrate Cup Noodles’ willingness to tap into consumer curiosity and offer products that align with evolving taste preferences. The merging of seemingly disparate flavors creates a playful and intriguing culinary landscape for ramen enthusiasts to explore.
