“Do you want to eat noodles at the cinema? [Now you] can! Mie Sedap Goreng cup is now available in all CGV movie theaters."
CGV Cinemas movie theater chain recently added fried instant cup noodles to its menu.
“Do you want to eat noodles at the cinema? [Now you] can! Mie Sedap Goreng cup is now available at all CGV theaters,” the company says on its website.
However, Twitter users were not excited by the idea, with many expressing their concerns over the noodles’ pungent smell disturbing the viewing experience of other movie-goers.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO... 😭😭😭😭😭

Ngga deh. Aromanya terlalu tajam.

@big_dim added that the smell would distract other viewers, making them feel uncomfortable.
Kayaknya kurang bijak kalo @CGV_ID krn wangi mie cup tsb akan mengganggu kenyamanan penonton

Meanwhile, @thatxmine tweeted: “This is my favorite. And for your information, because this Mie Sedap is served dry, the smell would not be as strong as [its soup-based products]. It won’t make your friends sitting next to you [feel hungry]." (jes/kes)
KESUKAAN BANGET INI. dan FYI mie sedap ini karena tanpa kuah, aromanya engga se-nyengat produk tetangga. Jadi engga terlalu bikin temen duduk ikut krucuk krucuk perutnya 🤗
