One pound of noodles should suffice, don’t you think?
Cup noodles are beloved worldwide. With so many varieties of noodles, including soba, ramen, udon, and yakisoba, combined with tons of different flavors like abalone and oyster stew, miso ginger, and pizza, and super easy, five-minute-or-less preparation, it’s easy to say why. They’re cheap, convenient, and darn delicious.
Except sometimes they don’t quite seem like enough food. Do you ever finish a bowl of cup noodles and think, “I’m still hungry”? Do you ever feel somewhat satisfied by a cup noodle bowl, but then an hour later you’re hungry again? Well, now there’s a solution: Peyoung’s Super Super Super Big Portion GIGAMAX Yakisoba.
Peyoung is a big dry food brand in Japan, and a core division of their products is instant yakisoba. Their ordinary size cup yakisoba comes in 120 gram (4.2-ounce) packs, which might not be enough for some people, but even those with the heartiest of appetites will probably be completely satisfied with GIGAMAX’s whopping 439 grams of noodles. To clarify, that’s almost one pound of yakisoba.
One pound of yakisoba!!
How many calories are in one pound of yakisoba, including its sauce and vegetable toppings? 2,142 calories. That’s more than the recommended caloric intake for a whole day for most adults. If you’re on any kind of diet, don’t even look at this instant yakisoba, because it also contains over 235 grams of carbohydrates and over 120 grams of fat.
▼ This is an ordinary Peyoung Yakisoba cup noodle bowl. Picture this, times four.
Seriously, this cup noodle is not for weenies. One pound of noodles may not sound like much, but considering GIGAMAX contains four standard servings of yakisoba, if you’re not prepared to eat like a yakisoba king, you won’t make it to the bottom of this bowl. It’s so big that it even says on the logo, “Please don’t eat more than one of these per day.” Challenge accepted.
▼ It probably won’t be as much as this, but we can work our way up.
It’s not hitting stores until June 18 in Kanto, and then July 9 in the rest of the Japan, so if you plan on taking on this giant serving of instant yakisoba, you have some time to train your stomach. You’ll want to practice bingeing on carbs, so try this mega pasta or the 2.2 pound rice ball while you’re waiting. Your heart might not appreciate it, but your taste buds will definitely thank you.
