Why were these things such a popular snack?  Between 1993-1996, thousands of kids purchased these noodles from their local convenience store and ate them, uncooked, on a daily basis.  Did Mr. Noodle market these to kids?  I doubt it.  It likely had a lot to do with the pricetag: at less then 30 cents per pack, they’re quite affordable.  I get the feeling they had the same type of appeal to kids in the nineties as Pabst Blue Ribbon had a few years ago with twentysomethings.
