Pot Noodle

Pot Noodle is a brand of instant noodle snack food from the United Kingdom, sold in a range of flavors, made of dehydrated noodles combined with dried vegetables and flavoring powder that is prepared by adding boiling water; the snack is eaten directly from its plastic pot, and many varieties come with a sachet of sauce such as soy or hot sauce, with larger King versions of some flavors. Golden Wonder founded the brand in 1977, and it is now owned by Unilever, which acquired it through its purchase of Best Foods in 2000; Pot Noodle is manufactured at a factory in Croespenmaen, near Crumlin, Caerphilly, in Wales, which produces roughly 175 million pots a year.
