whaaa happened?

first of all, when i was little, i could have sworn that the brand was actually "Cup O Noodles". now they're just "Cup Noodles".

i've been having these off and on at for lunch at work recently because, frankly, i've had my fill of soups. except for tomato, but i digress. i like the fact that i can pick out any undesirables before i pour in the water. i don't like peas, so i pick those out every time. i try to get rid of most of the "meat" because, frankly, it weirds me out. the carrots and corn are the lucky (or unlucky) survivors.

in picking out peas, i've discovered that at least in the beef flavor cup o noodles - yes, i'm refusing to acknowledge the removal of the "o" - there are no more than 5 peas in each cup. it makes my life easier because there's less for me to pick out, but what if i were a pea lover? i'd feel slighted.

corn, on the other hand - plenty of that. :-)
