Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Now that summertime is coming to an end, there are a number of us who are looking forward to the trappings of fall.

For many, this includes all things pumpkin spice. While this flavoring can be divisive, there are a wide range of people who spend all summer looking forward to the return of the pumpkin spice. Just take this product that we are about to discuss into account….

Nissin, the company that is responsible for making Cup Noodles, is bringing back its Pumpkin Spice Cup Noodles just in time for fall. We are sure that lots of our readers are rejoicing, while others are wondering what the appeal is supposed to be. This sums up the pumpkin spice discourse pretty neatly, doesn’t it? It is certainly one of the most polarizing items on the fall menu.

The special pumpkin seasoning is about to return, with its signature blend of sweet, savory, and spiced flavoring. Did you know that there is a special way to consume this Cup Noodles flavor, though? In fact, those who are looking to enjoy some of these noodles come fall are advised to add some whipped cream to the top of them.

It seems crazy but it works, or so we are told. We are still cowardly to try it out for ourselves but perhaps this year will be the year!

“Cup Noodles is the iconic pantry staple that is synonymous with nostalgic, comfort food, and yet, our innovation is the key driver in allowing us to deliver new unexpected and craveable product experiences that hit squarely on the changing needs of our consumers,” said Priscila Stanton, according to Yahoo!. Stanton serves as the Senior Vice President of Marketing for Nissin Foods USA, so she knows what she speaks of.

“We are excited to bring back the popular, limited-time flavor, Cup Noodles Pumpkin Spice. The unexpected flavor pairing sparked the curiosity of ramen and pumpkin spice enthusiasts alike and we are thrilled for its return — just in time for this fall’s pumpkin spice season,” Stanton continued.

The Pumpkin Spice Cup Noodles will be available this fall at select retailers. We can’t wait t get our hands on some!
