Nissin Cup Noodles Becomes a Demanding Client in a Hilarious Viral Ad

A brilliant 2017 marketing campaign by popular Japanese instant noodle brand Nissin Cup Noodles was recently unearthed and is being widely shared on social media.

And more:

Fortunately, the designer was up to the task and responded accordingly with a masterpiece of an ad:

The seemingly silly concept, which resulted in a successful viral social media campaign, actually fits the product perfectly: a noodle snack garnished with egg, octopus, crab sticks and cabbage with a milky soup with cheese and black pepper.
