I ate nothing but Pot Noodles for a week 

I would like a week on what you normally eat, it would be really entertaining

Even though this is a long video I much prefer to watch it this way than the usual 7 instalments which are often full of repetition. Hope you'll continue with the format.

Anyone remember when Pot Noodles had little bits of dried veg in it? Now you get a token pea.

29:15 I really like how u added B-roll whilst you summarised similar meals. New camera angles too! Solid production addition 👌

I think combining the week formats into a single video is a good idea honestly. As you mentioned its less work and you don't have the problem of views dropping off. There have been week ons where by day 4 things got really boring (a lot of the diet kits for example get old very fast)

You know it's a real week on when Mike starts talking about his poops

Pot noodle really knows their target group. Giving all the debressed students some motivational one liners to cheer them up.

My brother got a job with golden wonder in the late 70s. Imagine my face when I came home from primary school to see a tower of chicken and mushroom pot noodles in the living room. My mother shouting at my father for eating jungle fresh peanuts in bed was another great memory....

Love the long-form videos. Can't believe I'm saying this but I want a pot noodle now. Pretty sure I done this challenge a few times as a student (': great work

I guess the only issue would be the lack of real nutriention and the explosion of sodium intake which will make you lethargic given the time frame.

sitting here on a friday night watching a man eat pot noodles what has my life become !

This format works 1 ) for the current YT algorith, the title fits very well for it as well. 2) as much as i love the daily uploads they do tend to repeat by day 4 or 5 so having condensed version helps fix that problem.

I always over fill my pot noodles because I like to drink the broth after 🤣 but I've never had an issue with them tasting to salty...and I'm not 1 that likes alot of salt...maybe it's because you're underfilling them that they taste extra salty to you

Love the new format! Really looking forward to seeing more week ons like this. ☺️

When it comes to pot & supper noodles, I always squeeze the pot all around & spash the pack of supper noodles to break them up it soaks in the water quickly then just leaving them to go through a solid one😊 oh it's always best to put the sauce in after it has soaked the water in, you'll taste it better😊😊

I salute you! Tough challenge that. I’m interested to know what your first meal was after the ordeal was over

Bombay bad boy is clear, I could eat just that flavour for 7 days

Much better way to do a week on IMO, well done Mike for doing something right. Hope those Pot Noodles didn't do too much damage.

I ate pot noodles a lot in college, usually chili lime shrimp. Being lazy, i would often use the glass of water on the bedstand to make it. Got a nasty surprise the day I accidentally left Blue Light vodka on the nightstand instead of water. (Still finished the pot cause I was poor.)

I just had the donner kabab pot noodle for lunch today, not sure what Mike found so gross about it... maybe they've changed the recipe because it just tasted vaguely meaty and spicy! Lol or maybe my tongue is broken, fantastic content as always Mike!

they say that you pay more for the king pot noodle for less thana normal one the king is only 20% bigger on average normal 0.90p king £1.40 only thats 50p for extra 24g so you can get more in 3 normal than 2 king for the same price so 270g instead of 220g about 50g more for the same price

You should've done this video last December they had a limited edition Xmas Dinner pot noodle then. I enjoyed it

I used to love the bacon flavour pot noodles! They were the best ones.

We really need a week on crack 😂

Heads up about Monosodium Glutamate at 4:23 It's mainly called MSG. It just helps amplify the flavor profiles, it doesn't actually taste much of salt, it just brings your tastebuds alive a bit more..! Used to be the blame for diahrea/headaches from chinese food, but soon proven that it didn't have much of an effect and after testing, it was rare for it to provide any side effects. Often made as a side product from soy sauce/fermentation products, naturally found within tomatoes, especially if you salt the tomatoes. It's a wonderful ingredient and I would recommend having it in your cupboard for chips! Disodium inosinate I don't actually have but I know it's used to help bring out MSG's effects better and combined it just overall brings out the flavors more.

A week on crack. A week on alcohol. A week on bread and water. These are the videos I wanna see.

I did this once in my younger days. Think it was for around 3-4 weeks, I ate nothing but Bombay Bad Boy ones. I had managed to get a few trays of them for really cheap and I had no money to get anything else, so these were the only option. To be honest, I didnt feel any different, and my weight stayed around the same.

Thank you for doing the week on videos. Been watching for a long time. This one made me worried for you. Hope you were able to get rid of that crazy salt and start feeling better. Liking the new format.

A week on ramen/dried noodles? Now you know how I feel! 😂

man needs to go to the nearest asian market and discover Indomie, Samyang, and Nissin

Love the video but I feel sick even thinking of doing this challenge 😂

As a kid I was quite into F1 and my usual Sunday afternoon race requirement was a sweet and sour pot noodle (with peas removed), an apple, and a pint of milk! No idea why

Monosodium Glutamate is MSG... I am amazed that with all these 'diets' over the years, you don't recognise it!

You should of made a mega pot noodle at the end and mixed all the flavours together, in your experience do you reckon it would be nice and groundbreaking? Love the content

Want your pot noodle less brothy place it in the microwave for 1 min thank me later

Subscribed for the pain you put yourself through 😂

After reconstituted the noodles drain water add sauce mox with a little butter

i prefer the old format. maybe a meet in the middle where you do days 1-3, days 4-7 and then an aftermath (if needed)

You can add meat and real vegetables to pot noodles to make it healthier

I am reminded of Reeves & Mortimer's Slade At Home sketches and their variously dinner, lunch and breakfast flavoured Cup-A-Soups.

Leave 10 mins instead of four. Seal top fully and weight it down to make a perfect seal. Stir every couple of mins and replace the lid. That’s some propa cooked noodles for me. 4 mins is not enough to get a good cook on the dried noodles

I think this is the way to go. I saw your update video and I'll be honest, I subscribed to your channel back when you were a movie reviewer and still prefer that side of you. While I find Week On entertaining it is hard to get through 7 episodes of a subject. I think this is a good way for someone like me to stay engaged. But I still miss you reviewing movies in a fancy suit!

You could have done a ranking / tier list based on your opinions. Maybe on the next one :)

Funnily enough, I did that last week.

The donor kebab flavour and the fusions are my favourite😍

What was your first meal after? Was there any particular food you were craving? I'd imagine an apple would taste like heaven

I swear I better see a Pot Noodle butty this week or I'll be mad! 😆

I never add as much water to instant noodles as it says.

Sorry Mike, early flavours were Curry, Beef and Tomato and Chicken and Mushroom. That was it. Also, fill it to max and then as soon as it will stir, get that dry mixture off the bottom!

love chicken and mushroom flavour best and im sure there used to be chicken-y bits in it but the dont have them now for some reason :/ I like to have chips with them as I like the crispy chips and the squishy noodles gives a bit of texture XD

Every couple of years i see pot noodles on the supermarket shelf and think, haven't had these in a while i'll by some, then after the first mouthful i remember why i haven't had one in years.

Its like eating elastic bands and snot. The curry ones are ok I suppose.

I'm a big fan of the doner kebab flavour myself, really nice flavour

Great video, pot noodle is my go to at work. I add more water and leave it longer to stew. Works well and not watery

If I could do alcohol and 3 x chicken and mushroom I think it would be easier than this

MUCH prefer these long videos compared to the multi video series! Cheers Mike

I do, on occasion, eat the Nissin Cup Noodles. Usually either Shrimp or Chicken Terriyaki styles because those are the only two flavours on the shelf in the supermarket around the corner.

Do a week on only 5 chilli’s hot food that would be grate

I bet I'm not the only one who likes Pot Noodle sandwiches.

Just to say, ignore the instructions, pour it in way above the line, cover it over with tin foil for at least 6 minutes. Stir it with the sauce, cover it back over for a further 2 minutes and then enjoy! Also at the end, you get a well deserved soup!

Personally, I MUCH preferred this style of vid.

Why don’t we have a bigger sauce when it’s king size 👑 and also if you put sauce in later when the water has absorbed it’s a better consistency and less soupy 😁

why do u tal like ashens

Mike every time ~I see a new series from you I love it even more, keep uip the amazingly entertaining work!

Shout out to the millions of students who have completed the 3 years on Pot Noodle challenge

I like this but I still prefer your normal format. A week of Mike is better than 1 video.

Hi how are you doing

Did you clear this with the Country Urban Noodle Testlab kitchen? Surely, Eli was notified of such activety!?

Mike Jeavons I love watching your week on videos. Have you thought about doing a week on food by The Gym Kitchen? They're really good, I eat them.

Worth noting with this longer format, I’ve been subscribed for a long time (was a viewer on a previous account) and this is the only time I’ve been recommended your video on my homepage. The algorithm seems to appreciate the longer average watchtime.

Lemongrass is the fly-spray taste in green curry.

If you want the sauce to be sticky the trick is to stir it aggressively and it will thicken up into a more desirable consistency, if that can even be said about pot noodle

Dude is just living my day to day

26:58 aaaaahhhhhh

The original curry flavoured Pot Noodle was lovely, and it had one hell of a kick. It got relaunched in a weaker recipe. The Bombay Bad Boy is nearer the strength of the original curry.

As an American, I am very jealous of the sheer variety of flavors available in y'all's instant noodles.

One of the things I crave 🤤🤤🤤 on my crap allergic to all sorts diet 😩 but just curry flavour. Every so often when I can’t do it anymore I make one, have 3 forkfuls and then have to pour it into the bin. Then I’m I’ll with food poisoning symptoms for the rest of the day & next day. Any more than 3 forkfuls extend it to 3/4 days. I can’t watch this yet knowing there’s a pot noodle in the pantry …I’d love nothing better than to make it, put a tea towel over me for drips and scoff it! Maybe dipping some of the nice, but evil crusty bread that I also can’t have 😫😩 the rice cakes I just had aren’t cutting it

Hi Mike, love the videos. I like this style for the Pot Noodles, 7 separate videos of Pot Noodles would be way too repetitive. At the same time, the McDonalds, KFC, Supermarket branded ones etc I think are better with the full 7 days -maybe just shorten them down a little when it comes to the links between meals. Loving the content regardless thanks for the videos!

dull balding tnuc

Your camera is set to 60hz =strobe when looking at unfiltered led's eg the kettle light.

This is a brilliant experiment. Just shows eating highly processed rubbish everyday ruins health. MSG, Salt, emulsifier and bad fats. Literally the worst combination. Hope you're ok. We're all grateful. 😅

monosodium glutamate is MSG :)

I fell t with pot noodles after they stopped producing my favourate flavour.... Nice n spicy..... They advised to try the piri piri as it was the same.... Nope, it's definitely not the same.... 😢

"For some reason I have chosen chicken and mushroom for breakfast." "Chicken for breakfast?" - Mila Kunis in the famous Chris Stark interview

Instead of weighing yourself you should do your blood work.. before and after 😄

Just watched 15.42 at 0.5 x playback speed! HILARIOUS!!! 😂 😊🎉

Monosodium GL eg uncle Rodger favorite about powder MSG MMM

Monosodium glutimate is not salt, it is added to enhance umami flavors, on it ls own it tastes mildly unpleasant (not salty) but with other savory things it makes the taste more intense. Just like natural sugars and sugar alcohols are responsible for natural sweetness glutimates are responsible for savory flavors.

May I suggest the sardine challenge, reviewing the various sardines available, especially Waitrose own in olive oil, probably the best value variety available in the uk.

Have you ever considered doing 'a week on food that should not be consumed by humans'.. For example cat food or fish food. Or maybe just find a field and chow down on a steaming cow pat? :)

How can you call a pot noodle food 😂 ok it's calories in your mouth but they're the worst lowest quality kind of calories you can eat... i eat 5 big meals a day or about 4,500 calories of potatoes rice legumes beans veg fruit nuts grains i.e all fresh whole foods that i cook from scratch - might take a bit of time out of my day but it's worth it when my mind and body are healthy i have low bodyfat high muscle mass and my weight stays consistent... all of these ' tasty ' convenience foods are not good for you, think about the reason you need food; it's not to please your tastebuds it's to fuel your body 🙃

I love pot noodles I grew up eating them what I do before I put the boiling water in the pot I smash up the noodles and fill the water to the line stir it and let it be for 15 and it goes thick not watery at all but I do agree there’s loads of salt in 1 pot

Maybe if you had added the designated amount of water it wouldn't have been as salty.

What the hell happened at 31.46? That's some professional camera trickery.

I absolutely love Basil 🐈‍⬛🥰 he's such a little darling 🐈‍⬛💞💐

Instantly clicked off when you started doing the whole coughing fit and blaming it on the salt 😂😂😂😂😂 behave yourself it's not even bad like that 🥲

I remember Pot Spaghetti. But am of an when i remember these coming out. Golden Wonder made them. Only one flavour, Beef and Tomato.

How on earth has he gained weight here never mind 2 pounds!? Heavy calorie deficit each day and never more than a few % over his salt daily, I was guessing a loss of 2 pounds not a gain, even if some of it is water weight that’s a >500 calorie deficit for 7 days straight

How old is BASIL now please.. been watching g your videos many many years & always love seeing little Kitty x

Red Dwarf and pot noodles.
