Pot Noodle’s most recent TV ad featuring an office worker slurping oneof the meals has caused uproar amongst Brits who have taken to X in protest. In response, Pot Noodle took to Instagram to issue a public apology, but not everyone was satisfied.
The brand is now opening a £10k Compensation Pot, offering the opportunity to those offended to claim a free £33 in cash – the equivalent of a month’s supply of Pot Noodle. Consumers need to publicly accept Pot Noodle’s apology on X to be in with a chance of securing compensation.
Lena Portchmouth, Marketing Manager at Pot Noodle: “We know our slurping has caused a stir across the nation – and we have been personally contacted for promoting this sound in such a big way. However, here at Pot Noodle, we are still firm believers in the slurp and all that it represents – the ultimate satisfaction.
"Whilst we are offering compensation to those who have been offended by our ad, we are the pot of the people and will continue to encourage the slurp amongst our consumers to slurp until their heart is content - guilt-free.”
If you were offended by Pot Noodle’s recent TV Ad, you can claim compensation by heading over to Pot Noodle’s website and publicly accepting Pot Noodle’s apology on X on Wednesday, April 10. There is a total of £10k in the Pot, which will provide £33 for up to 300 people.
The Compensation Pot opened for 24 hours only from Wednesday 10 April at 7am Full T&C’s can be found on Pot Noodle’s website.
