Cup Noodles Has Created A Pumpkin Spice Flavor, Because Fall Knows No Bounds

From almond milk to cream cheese to cotton candy, we’ve seen it all when it’s come to pumpkin spice … or so we thought. The craze is going as strong as ever, and Nissin Foods is the latest brand to hop in with an innovation that has us scratching our heads: Cup Noodles Pumpkin Spice.

The new flavor comes the same year as Cup Noodles’ 50th anniversary. You probably know the brand for serving soup-based creations, but the Pumpkin Spice variety is more saucy. The fall-inspired bite is made of noodles and sauce with a special pumpkin seasoning that blends sweet, savory, and spiced all in one. All you have to do is add a splash of water and microwave it for 4 minutes. Believe it or not, Nissin Foods recommends topping it with whipped cream — yes, whipped cream — for the full pumpkin spice experience. Hey, it’s worth a shot!

“After 50 years of noodle innovation, what better time to release our most unexpected flavor to date with pumpkin spice, and trust me it really is that good,” Jaclyn Park, vice president, marketing, Nissin Foods USA, said in a press release. “Product innovation is at the core of the Cup Noodles brand and we are excited to launch our first-ever limited-edition flavor that is sure to cause a stir. You just have to try it!”

The limited-edition Cup Noodles Pumpkin Spice will be available exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide in late October 2021. This is bound to be a taste like nothing else you’ve had before, so prepare to break out the whipped cream and have some pasta. We know, we didn’t think we’d ever put that sentence together either.
