Review summary

The flavor was often described as bland, tasteless, and generally disgusting, with some mentioning a reduction in the amount of noodles and sauce.

Paper pots are disgusting!

Paper pots are making the noodles taste absolutely vile!! I do not like them! Last time I checked you can recycle plastics so what’s the problem!? Use recycled plastic to make the pots!!! If this fully moves to paper pots then be ready to face massive loss of money as sales will soon plummet!

Egg Cup Sized Pots

OMG, these pots are so small nowadays, you could use them as egg cups!!
I can remember these when they started..1977, I'd just started comp!
Tbh, I wasn't that impressed then, they were so bland - but at least they'd fill you up in between meals, twice the size they are today, easy!!!
But nowadays, pfffffff, they're tiny, more like egg cups??
lol
And charging anything over £1 for a few tasteless noodles, is pure daylight robbery!
Not to mention the amount of single use PLASTIC in the cup & the pathetic amount of sauce, isn't worth the amount of plastic used to hold it & the poisonous foil lid!!
Shame on you..

Why paper?

I used to call pot noodles the single man's savior BUT since the change to paper pots they seem to have lost flavor and are far too watery.
Bring back the plastic.

Cardboard pot gets hot to hold no tall ridge at top, actually burned my hand when pot bent, spoke to Unilever re this, what in the research went wrong here?! Recyclable plastic pots are easy to clean and put in recycle bin the plastic can be re used, cardboard is too soggy to recyle once its saturated therefore is bad for enviroment and not economical. The texture of the noodles was completely different they were soggy and clumped together. The flavour tasted of the card packaging and they have done it only with the most popular flavour! Blows my mind this, awful wont buy again.

Go woke go broke

Last time I looked plastic was recyclable so can’t see how it’s better for the environment, probably better for profit. Anyway, the cardboard pots are absolutely disgusting and all I can taste is soggy cardboard.
Luckily I’ll stay with the king size pots until they go the same way then I’m on to something new on a night shift! Adios pot cardboard

Paper pots not the same

I’ve had my food shop delivered today. The first time getting the new paper pots. Fair to say I won’t be buying them again. The classic chicken and mushroom flavour has gone and you can taste the paper. What a disappointment.
