Mama instant noodles sale drops for the first time in 42 years

But I'm curious: how the heck are they getting lead into instant soup noodles?

According to this article the lead was found in the seasoning.

They should be testing a whole lot more than just Maggi's seasoning then. If it is sourced in India, most other herbs and spices probably have it too.

I won't eat the things... horrible, no nutrition food.

I couldn't help but notice from another post that you eat Eggo and Aunt Jemima frozen waffles.

What pray tell is the nutritional difference between those and mama noodles?

"Did you get that one straight from the boss?"

I checked this a little further, as to why some people have their "shirt in a knot leading them to campaign not to buy Mama"

What I am told is that the top tier of this Company consistently support the anti-democrats, or "Mob" to quote them directly....The top-dogs are now supporting the continuation of what they perceive to be the anti-democrats.....The motive being to keep poor people poor, in order to enhance consumption of this product.

This is what I am told. It may be good for others to check this as well.

Am confused with that statement as I thought the "Democrat yellow elite" were the one that were trying to keep the people poor...

But that sentence: The motive being to keep poor people poor, in order to enhance consumption of this product.

That would not surprise me at all and is pretty much in line with the probable stance of other multinational corporations...

My papa noodle has already been dropping for quite a few years.

Do you mind if we refer to you as Mr Noodle Doodle ?

Read for yourself... hardly the same, comparing the two:

Mama Noodles per serving: 35% of RDI saturated fat, 53% RDI sodium, virtually no vitamin content

Frozen waffles: 3-8% RDI saturated fat, 16-17% RDI sodium, +-20% RDI vitamin content.

Fiber and sugar levels about the same. Protein a bit more in the noodles.

Frozen Waffles (the kind I used to buy, before they became unavailable here)

Mama noodles suck.

I buy the Nissin noodles at Tesco and they taste much better.

Thai officials consistently referring to the "grassroots people" ... an extremely condescending habit

Instant noodles are toxic garbage. Better switch to purple rice or something else nutritious.
