Nissin would like to thank you for eating Cup Noodle since 1971 by giving you the chance to win your very own Cup Noodle Vending Machine. The unit is a compact 35cm x 42cm x 28cm and you can see it in action in the video on this page. Ideal for the hikikomori type.

I'm soory to bother you danny but I still can't upload anything^^; I was the one who did the " Who would you want nendorized" post

This is like the 4th or 5th thing Ive seen you post about this in the past couple days.. I wouldn't mind if you were actually saying something -about- the topic, but it seems like you're just trying to comment on things fast to tell him about your problem.. >_> Send him a message on Facebook or something? Somewhere were we dont -all- have to see it? D= It would be appreciated!
(ID #448978) Posted on 2009/01/15 17:18
sorry Well i started out doing that And he replied pretty quickly but afterward i still couldn't post. It's been like two weeks since then and I still can't get response. Sorry for toubling you, I just really want to be able to post again. I'll try to stop spamming it, but is it allright if I mention it after i comment on the topic? Sorry again^^; I just really want to be able to post>.<
(ID #450047) Posted on 2009/01/16 11:41
Id really suggest sending him a Facebook message. He says he reads them all, and usually replies, but it sometimes takes him a while to get to the longer ones, so keep it short.
(ID #450389) Posted on 2009/01/16 17:12
I'll try it out. I'm not particularlly a fan of face book or other sites like that, but if he replies and i can post again it will be worth it. Thanks Kikuman^^

the Nissin cup noodles here aren't quite ramen style. wat kind of ramen flavors does Nissin have that you're talking about?
(ID #448817) Posted on 2009/01/15 14:34
personally i dont eat alot cup noodles, but this would be a amazing idea for food courts in malls, liberaries or dorm XD

(ID #448569) Posted on 2009/01/15 11:10
My thoughts exactly. This is basically a cup noodle storage and water boiler; most houses have both things (either a heater or stove and cupboards ^^) It does sound neat for public use though, but the one shown up there has the size for personal use only.

Bring it to school and make some money off some people who need lunch since they would need to put money in there XD
(ID #448884) Posted on 2009/01/15 15:27
Agreed. If the machine actually opened the lid, automatically poured the water (just the right amount instead of you having to turn it off yourself), closed the lid, and started the timer on its own, then I can understand the use of it. Considering how most coffee vending machines do something similar, I'm sure something like that could be contrived for public use. However, given the size and few containers it holds, it seems like something for personal use; in which case, inserting the coin to use it seems completely pointless. =^_^=
(ID #449537) Posted on 2009/01/16 04:02
my thoughts exactly, I thought it was stupid already seeing as it does sweet f.a then it made me lol when you even had to press stop for the water level! Clearly just a gimmick for to buy for the sake of buying it and saying you have one etc.

The noodle comes down the right and you get water from the left. I think that's how it works.

Having eaten so many cups of noodles in my younger days, I have sort of grown wary of them, but I still believe that having a Cup Noodle vending machine would be an interesting item of discussion though looking at the actual noodle cooking process--it still seems as labor as my usual method of preparing cup noodles.

Does it come with cup noodle? Or must buy own one? Hope it's not like those toys that always have " batteries not included" written on them. Toys must come with batteries and cup noodle dispenser must come with cup noodle!

He he I can't send in for it since I don't live in Japan but it looks pretty nice. And its a good deal for the company that makes it too since the winner will be ordering refills for it as long as it works.
