The kit was made by 3D scanning real Cup Noodles to make it as realistic as possible, from the cup to the noodles and toppings.

The kit comes with actual ingredients used in Cup Noodles including egg, shrimp, meat, and spring onion. You get to decide how much you want to top your noodles with.

The outside of the cup can also be removed so you can see what the inside of Cup Noodle looks like.

The cup design of Cup Noodle has gone unchanged since its release, making it a very familiar sight to all who have tucked into a cup. The plastic model recreates all of its distinct features, combining the iconic white, red, and gold colours. They even have the line inside the cup which tells you where to stop pouring your hot water.

The design is so detailed it even has the ingredient list, allergy breakdown, and more—all recreated with the same font and font size.
