Pot Noodle brings back controversial flavour after NINE years – but fans are divided

SHOPPERS have been left divided after a notorious instant noodle flavour made a famous return to shelves.

Pot Noodle has brought back its Abra Kebabra Doner Kebab flavour - and just in time for National Kebab day tomorrow.

The 90g size is already available in Asda for £1 and comes in at 413 calories, but is getting mixed reviews on social media.

One shopper revealed on Facebook page Newfoodsuk they had bought the item, but not everyone was a fan.

One user said: "Need to try this."

Another said: "I've waited years for these to come back. I'm feeling quite emotional right now."

And another simply said: "Gotta try this!!!"

But not everyone was so full of plaudits.

One user said: "Omg! What a nightmare!"

While another added: "That sounds grim."

And one user was undecided: "Sounds grim but might give it a go."

Pot Noodle put the Doner Kebab and Piri Piri flavours to the public vote to decide which would make a return.

And the Doner Kebab product won with an overwhelming majority.

Angus Giddins, Pot Noodle brand manager, said: “After putting it to a public vote – and securing over 100,000 votes - we were simply blown away by the incredible demand for a Doner Kebab flavour.

"We quickly set out to make it a reality and are excited to share it with Noodler’s across the country – giving you the kebab fix you crave, in less than 5 minutes."

We checked out whether Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco or Aldi offered similar kebab-flavoured instant noodles but there was nothing listed.

So it might be your best bet heading to Asda if you want to grab hold of the item.

It's not the first time Asda has introduced a controversial product to its shelves.

It previously sold a Marmite flavoured chocolate Easter egg.

And Lynx launched its own Marmite-scented Africa deodorant scent last month.

How does it compare to other Pot Noodles?

We checked out some of the other Pot Noodle flavours on offer at Asda to see how they compared.

The Doner Kebab Pot Noodle comes in at £1, but it might be cheaper to go for a different option.

The Sticky Rib Noodle 90g size is currently on offer for 60p, while the Chinese Chow Mein 90g variety is also 60p.

Chicken and Mushroom 90g is also 60p as is Original Curry and Beef and Tomato.

And the 114g sizes of Original Curry, Beef and Tomato, Sticky Rib Noodle all come in 10p cheaper than the Doner Kebab flavour, at 90p.

Some of the more lavish flavours, including Fusions Green Thai Green Curry and Fusions Katsu Curry items, will cost you the same as the Doner Kebab flavour at £1.
