Rant time.The old 2 minute noodles had a tangy flavour - a kind of salty, zingy hit. Apparently Maggi have taken it upon themselves to do some sort of focus group study.You know the kind where the “consultant” guy gets paid 0 per hour to talk, well… bollocks.”Okaaay. You know what 2 minute noodles need? Let’s ask a random selection of bland-palated people and see what they think.”"Okay, now they have chosen the cardboard tasteless ones, we need a name”"We’ll brand them as ‘EXTRA DELICIOUS’ - they’ll love it!”Yeah.Extra delicious to who? People with a cold?Thanks to this treachery, we now have 2 minute noodles with very little flavour and barely-recognisable rehydrated vegetables. Vegetables that are still crunchy when the noodles are cooked!! Mmmm….But you know what? They are now 14 grams lower in fat!! And “ovenbaked”…Whoopeee.You know what I want? I want those 14 grams of fat re-absorbed into those noodles so I can have the taste back.What happened to my ridiculously wrong munchy snack that tastes like real (pardon the pun) 2 minute noodles!?!?Grrrr!!! ARgh!!!~End Rant.technorati tags: maggi, 2 minute noodles, extra delicious, oven baked, new 2 minute noodles,maggi noodles
