As I'm writing this episode's description, I'm eating a cup of noodles... or cup noodles. I bet (especially if you're a college student or went to college), that you have had instant ramen. From delicious flavors from around the world (Philippines, Japan, and China), to the simple chicken and shrimp flavors that you can see in your franchise grocery store, instant ramen is a staple for cheap yet delicious food. On this episode of Stuck on a Brand, I'll be talking about the Instant Ramen brands, and how the brands have shaped this culture.

As I’m writing this, I’m sipping a delicious, icy, soda to quench my thirst during this warm weather. Chances are, you’re probably drinking one too, but do you know what brand it’s part of? This episode of the podcast, I’ll be talking about the war between both Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and while this dispute is not as large as it used to be, many soda drinkers may not understand what brand their soda is part of. Let’s take a peek at these two brands, the trends and drinks that they are known for and not known for, and how important this war truly is to their successes as beverage companies.
