You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who has not tried Ramen noodles. Many people who try them eat them on a regular basis to save money, to make something quickly, or just because they enjoy the taste.
Undoubtedly, Ramen noodles are some of the least expensive quick meals on the market, and you can make them within minutes. All you have to do is add boiling water and wait.
Although it is a simple meal, the creator of Cup Noodles, Nissin, just made it even easier. They’ve done so with a measuring cup that looks like a Cup Noodle, and you will want to have one in your cupboard.
When Cup Noodle Japan announced the release of this creation in April on Twitter, it went viral. The measuring cup looks a lot like the Cup Noodle you are familiar with but it’s a clear container.

The convenient portion of the container is the liquid measurement units included. They mark the three different sizes of Cup Noodles, mini, regular, and big.
You may be wondering why this is even necessary because the styrofoam containers already included with the noodles have a water line on the inside.
The problem is, if you don’t have a hot water dispenser handy, or if you are eating on the run, it can be difficult to measure things properly. This new method should take the guesswork out of the mix so you can have perfectly cooked noodles every time.
These new measuring cups don’t seem to be on the market yet, but they did get quite a positive reaction from their Twitter followers. More than 140,000 people have liked the video.
There have also been many who have left appreciative messages and would do almost anything if the cups would be released soon.
