Cup Noodles Just Went Full Pickle Mode

Cup Noodles is getting b-o-l-d this summer with the launch of its limited-edition Dill Pickle ramen, dropping on June 21. The brand teased the flavor with a loud, briny Instagram post that practically screams “slurp me… if you dare.” And honestly? For the price of pocket change, I probably will.
Pickles are everywhere right now, think about it: Heinz Pickle Ketchup, Hidden Valley Pickle Ranch, Goldfish Dill Pickle Crackers, and even pickle-flavored ice cream are hitting shelves. Now Cup Noodles is hopping on the bandwagon and bringing that vinegary punch to the one meal that never left broke college kids or late-night snackers behind.
Cup Noodles is the original low-stakes flavor experiment. So go ahead, embrace the tang, pucker up, and thank inflation’s worst enemy for giving you something different, affordable, and wildly on-trend.
Whether you’re a hardcore picklehead or just curious enough to boil water, tell us if this one innovation is a meal worth making.
