The Nissin Foods holiday merchandise has been unveiled by the brand just in time for the holidays to offer consumers who simply can't get enough ramen to show off their pride in a new way.
The collection of limited-edition items includes a Cup Noodles beanie, Top Ramen socks, Top Ramen bowl and spoon set, Cup Noodles mug and Cup Noodles shorts. The brand is also offering themed wrapping paper to let gift givers wrap their offerings in ramen-inspired style for their friends or family who are connoisseurs of the instant noodle dish.
The Nissin Foods holiday merchandise is likely to be a hit with younger consumers who are more apt to wear their brand preferences on their sleeve (literally) for others to ogle over.
