Cup Noodles Launches New Mess-Free Ramen Trio Perfect for Game Day Wing Lovers

Cup Noodles Unveils New Ramen Trio for Game Day

As the excitement for the Big Game approaches, Nissin Foods is diving into the cravings of sports fans with a creative twist on a classic favorite. Americans are known for their enthusiasm for chicken wings, consuming more than 1.42 billion of them during the Big Game alone. However, this delicious indulgence often comes with a hefty price — messy hands and stained shirts. Enter Cup Noodles: the beloved instant noodle brand has just launched three innovative ramen flavors that capture all the boldness of wings without the sticky aftermath.

The new flavors include Spicy Buffalo with Ranch, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic Parmesan. Each option has been expertly crafted to provide the zingy satisfaction of traditional wings while ensuring mealtime convenience. Let's delve deeper into what these flavors bring to the table:

1. Spicy Buffalo with Ranch – This flavor combines the fiery tang of buffalo sauce with the creamy, herb-infused delight of ranch dressing, delivering an authentic taste explosion.
2. Lemon Pepper – Featuring a vibrant blend of lemon's citrusy brightness, spiced with black pepper, this flavor is a refreshing twist rounded out by savory garlic and onion.
3. Garlic Parmesan – For those who appreciate a hearty flavor, this ramen packs a rich punch of parmesan distinguished by its garlic undertones and mild spice.

Nissin Foods has expertly recognized the plight of wing lovers, with a recent study revealing that the average person utilizes six to eight napkins for just a dozen wings. Moreover, an astonishing 90% of wing enthusiasts still manage to end up with sauce smeared across their fingers and faces. Even after diligent scrubbing, a majority struggle to eliminate the stubborn wing residues, often requiring three to four washes to successfully clean their garments.

Priscila Stanton, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Nissin Foods, highlighted the innovation behind Cup Noodles Wings: "Americans love wings just as much as they love football, they just don't love the collateral damage. Between stained shirts, messy hands, and sauce splatter, traditional wings create more cleanup than enjoyment for many fans. Cup Noodles Wings delivers bold, game day flavors in a convenient, mess-free format that's perfect for snacking before, during, or after the Big Game — no sticky fingers, no laundry disasters, just pure flavor."

This latest addition expands Cup Noodles' creative offerings that already feature bold and unconventional flavors, such as Turkey Dinner and Campfire S'mores. With game day around the corner, fans seeking a flavorful yet hassle-free snack can look forward to enjoying the trio of limited-time ramen flavors for just $1.18 per cup. Pre-orders commenced on January 14, 2026, with immediate purchases available online at Walmart.com starting January 21, 2026. Physical stores will showcase the flavors nationwide by the end of January.
