Pringles are getting into the soup game. Though the chips brand’s slogan is “Once you pop, the fun don’t stop,” new instant noodle and ramen meals that are slated to be released in Japan on Monday, October 15, rely heavily on the popular snack food.
Super Cup, a brand of instant noodles noted for offering unique flavors, is debuting an array of Pringle-themed instant noodles and ramen, and there are plenty of options to choose from. Per Sora News 24, a local outlet, the four limited-edition Pringle-centric flavors consist of two dry and two broth-based options.
Super Cup’s parent company, Acecook, reportedly teamed up with Pringles in honor of the smaller brand’s 30th anniversary, and the chip company’s 50th.
The dry varieties are sour cream and onion, which come in a square container, and squid-flavored fried noodles, which are served in a Pringles-esque round canister. What’s more? The packaging for both items seems to indicate they come with identical flavored Pringle packs on the side, which are meant for dipping.
The more soup-heavy offerings are the jalapeño and onion flavor, which is significantly larger than a typical noodle cup, and chicken shoyu. That variety, Sora News reports, will use the more traditional chicken bone soy sauce present in Super Cup’s regular noodles. Social media posts indicate these soups will also come with a side of corresponding Pringles, because why not?
The jalapeño and onion and sour cream and onion flavors will debut on October 15, at all major supermarkets and convenience stores. while the squid-flavored noodles and chicken shoyu varieties are expected to be released in Japan on Tuesday, October 23.
Unfortunately, there’s no indication any of these instant meals are U.S.-bound, but that could change!
