Cup Noodles is tackling football’s biggest snacking headache-messy wings-by launching three chicken wing-inspired ramen flavors that promise all the taste and none of the cleanup.
The limited-edition lineup-Spicy Buffalo with Ranch, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic Parmesan-lands at Walmart just as Super Bowl parties ramp up. Pre-orders open Wednesday, Jan. 14, with first sales starting Jan. 21, according to News Of Losangeles.
Wing Flavor, No Finger Fiasco
Americans devour 1.42 billion chicken wings every Super Bowl Sunday, the National Chicken Council reports. That feast leaves behind sauce-splattered couches, stained jerseys, and one in three fans admitting they’ve ruined clothing while eating wings.
Cup Noodles says its new cups eliminate the chaos. “Cup Noodles Wings is this football season’s ultimate game-day hero,” said Priscila Stanton, senior vice president of marketing, in an exclusive statement to News Of Losangeles. “You get all the bold, craveable wing flavors everyone loves, without the sauce-splattered furniture and stained jerseys.”
Flavor Breakdown
Each variety mirrors classic wing favorites:
- Spicy Buffalo with Ranch – Heat and tang finished with creamy herbs
- Lemon Pepper – Citrus zing and black pepper balanced by garlic and onion
- Garlic Parmesan – Parmesan-forward punch with Italian herbs and light tang
Limited Run, Walmart Exclusive
The trio joins Cup Noodles’ roster of playful limited-edition flavors like Turkey Dinner, Pumpkin Pie, Dill Pickle, and Campfire S’mores. Every cup retails for $1.18 and will be available exclusively at Walmart.com starting Jan. 21, with in-store rollout later in January.
Key Takeaways
- Cup Noodles turns chicken wings into slurpable ramen for Super Bowl LVIII
- Walmart holds exclusive rights to the $1.18 cups beginning Jan. 21
