Pot Noodle are offering free cash if you were offended by their 'slurp' advert
This is not a joke! 🤣
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few months, or don't own a TV or radio, you've most likely witnessed the rather annoying Pot Noodle advert, which features a girl slurping noodles into her mouth in an office.
After tonnes of complaints about the advert, Pot Noodle took to social media to apologise, saying: 'It has come to our attention that even though we think a slurp represents ultimate satisfaction, some people have an aversion to that specific sound. Consequently, they have no been enjoying the slurping in our Pot Noodle TV, radio and social campaign.
'We've heard you. And we're sorry. Really. So, for those who didn't like it, we have created something you may find more satisfying'. (sic)
Despite creating a new ad, Pot Noodle have now taken things a step further, revealing 'The Pot Noodle Compensation Pot', which is made up of a huge £10,000.
The Pot Noodle Compensation Pot is a pot of money which will be shared out to anybody who was 'offended' by their advert, with 300 x £33.34 cash compensation up for grabs. All you have to do is apply for a chance to claim the money.

Now check out all of the food and drink we miss from school:
Cornflake cake
A staple of the school kitchen! If you fancy making your own cornflake cake, just like this yummy one in the photo, check out this amazing recipe from The Spelt Kitchen.
Turkey Twizzlers
Turkey Twizzlers were basically on the menu every day until 2005, when they were banned from schools following a healthy eating campaign by top chef Jamie Oliver.
The tasty treats recently made a comeback though, albeit with a lot less fat, additives and flavourings!
Angel Delight
It really was the simple things in life that got us through Maths with our least favourite teacher...
Turkey dinosaurs
Always a favourite when they landed on the school menu, turkey dinosaurs were basically in the same God Tier as turkey twizzlers.
Baked Beans
Beans and chips, beans and nuggets, beans and fish fingers, anything with beans was a winning school meal in our eyes!
Lumpy mash
It was served with basically every meal, but nobody was complaining after it had been drowned in gravy.
Rice pudding
A classic still to this day.
Cartons of Milk
Whether you had cartons or glass bottles, there was nothing better than a slug of milk during break time!
Sprinkle cake
It was hard around the edges and dry in the middle, but there was something about sprinkle cake at school, lathered in custard of course.
Smiley potato faces
They cheered up our plates and will always have a place in our culinary hearts.
Jelly
All together now: "Jelly on a plate, jelly on a plate, wibble wobble, wibble wobble, jelly on a plate"
Syrup sponge
Syrup sponge and custard, was there even a nicer dessert?
Pizza slices
You couldn't beat a pizza slice on your lunch break... Even if it only had 2 slices of pepperoni on!
Caramel Shortcake
These treats weren't on offer often, but when they did come it was always a race to get one before they'd gone!
