It's Lady Vera added:
“Lucky Star has chicken livers too.”
Meanwhile, Mohamed Riaaz pointed out:
“Lucky Star now also does baked beans.”
Hunger for unique flavors is palpable, as Mr Dieezy asked:
“Why can't we get a pilchard flavor?”
With the price of noodles being a hot topic, barbaramokgothu chimed in:
“I bought 2 packs for R35 at Frontline yesterday.”
GoldAstro expressed a need for better branding:
“They need a change; the color looks too close to other brands.”
A call for innovation came from pb&dj, who suggested:
“SA companies should try to make noodles with an Indomie-style flavor because this standard beef/chicken/curry/cheese they all do are so boring.”
toto echoed that sentiment:
“When they get to INDOMIE level … I’ll buy. Currently all noodles look and taste like Maggi.”
Rounding off the conversation, A_akaash humorously added:
“Sorry, I was thinking Tin Fish Flavor. Now I am Craving Tin Fish and Roti or Even Butter Bread.”
