As Pot Noodle adverts go, this new one is fairly unremarkable. It plugs into the zeitgeist fairly successfully by featuring two chaps dressed in Tonic-style suits set against a backdrop of suitably 1980s decor and sharp electro-tinged music. That’s all fair enough, but the thing that really made me chuckle at this advert was the new flavour itself. Doner Kebab flavoured Pot Noodle? It’s like the joining forces of two enormous super villains in a super hero film – Pot Noodle and Doner Kebab come together to fight all good food. The fact that it’s presented as some scientific experiment (two of the most maligned foodstuffs in the UK miraculously fused together in some sort of incubator) makes me laugh no end. Have a look at the ad after the jump…
