I stopped eating Maggi several years ago when they stopped being 'chatakdar' anymore despite having 'Masala' in the name. I found Top Ramen Masala flavour to be the true masala instant noodles for me. However I had to buy Maggi Masala flavour noodles again recently as neither my local D-Mart nor The Central Supermarket had any stock of Top Ramen on that day.

I tried Maggi noodles today and it was horrible! They feel 'bland' and not at all spicy. I made some more adding a bit of salt, garam masala and red pepper and they did spiced up the noodles a bit but still couldn't satisfy my taste buds. I remember not liking Maggi years ago and am not liking them even more today. In contrast, Top ramen have that lip-smacking taste that Maggi had years ago.

Haven't tried Yippie noodles. May get some on my next trip to the supermarket. I am told that Top Ramen are in very short supply and may not be on the shelves for a long time. I am too lazy to go searching in the local shops.

Has the taste of Maggi really changed or is it just me cuz am trying it out after so many years?

Maggi is like that since return.

Wai wai was good till 2 years back , now thats also bad (it contains MSG though).

Top ramen is best currently in the affordable segment. Although i have completely stopped eating instant noodles.

Msg being bad for health is kind of seen as a much bigger deal than it is tho, it generally safe for most of the people and there's not enough scientific evidence to support it being bad for health either sweat_smile

Yes it has little more fizz but cost is high for sugar water.

Best is still Glass Bottle for Rs12 or Rs14 in Shops. Same thing in Plastic bottle cost Rs20. joy . Business open_mouth

@TridentDG I hardly find glass bottles around here, also there is a chance of getting a fake at local shops, so i dont risk it.
With these highly junk products i prefer buying the smallest quantity possible even if it has 100% premium markup. Because i noticed that whenever we open a packet of namkeen then it has to get finished , whether its of 10 or 20 or 50 rupees. So for health sake now i dont order 1kg bhujia packs at home (no matter how discounted they come), only 10 rupees ones, same insight for cold drinks.

Is it possible that they were mixing some *** ingredients, but after seeing Baba Ramdev in court they stopped their *** ingredients ??

I remember the time when samples of maggi were distributed in school and we used to eat them as namkeen (ie: mixing masala and maggi and eating it raw) it really tasted yumm.

I tried yippee noodles, but I didn't like it a bit. Atta maggie is good for me. Didn't know about top ramen though , going to try this month because of you.
