Cup Noodles is bringing the heat — and the ranch — to your snack shelf this Super Bowl season. The brand just dropped three limited‑edition chicken wing–inspired ramen flavors, each designed to capture the bold, saucy spirit of game day. The lineup includes Spicy Buffalo with Ranch, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic Parmesan, and it’s already generating buzz for being both nostalgic and surprisingly craveable.
The Three New Flavors
Available exclusively at Walmart starting January 14, the new flavors are part of Cup Noodles’ push to blend classic comfort with bold, snackable innovation.
- Spicy Buffalo with Ranch: Tangy buffalo broth with a creamy ranch finish, a slight kick, but not overpowering and designed to mimic the flavor of dipping wings in ranch dressing
- Lemon Pepper: Zesty, peppery broth with citrus notes, inspired by the dry rub wing favorite, bright and savory, with a clean finish
- Garlic Parmesan: Rich, buttery broth with garlic and cheese, creamier than typical ramen, closest to a pasta‑meets‑wing hybrid
Each flavor comes in the classic Cup Noodles format — just add hot water and wait three minutes.
Why It Works
The launch taps into two major trends:
- Chicken wings as a Super Bowl staple
- Ramen as a nostalgic, low‑effort comfort food
By combining the two, Cup Noodles offers a mess‑free, utensil‑optional way to enjoy wing flavors without the grease, bones, or cleanup.
Early Reviews
Food writers and TikTok taste testers are calling the flavors “shockingly accurate,” “weirdly addictive,” and “better than they need to be.” Garlic Parmesan is emerging as the fan favorite, while Buffalo Ranch is praised for its balance of heat and creaminess.
Limited-Time Availability
The flavors are available nationwide at Walmart while supplies last. They’re expected to stay on shelves through February, with peak demand around Super Bowl weekend (February 8–9).
