PC ramen
Top Ramen has succumbed to the censors. They changed the format of the printing on the package, and changed 'Oriental flavor' to 'Soy Sauce flavor'. Oddly, the words 'Soy Sauce' are in a fake Oriental font, which sort of defeats the PC.
Good brand practice forbids sudden change; when you switch a name you need to SameGreat the old name. I'm sure the SameGreat will disappear in a month or two.
Admittedly 'Oriental flavor' is meaningless. The Orient includes a whole bunch of different flavors, and soy is only one of them.
And the label is accurate; the food itself is SameGreat. I love the stuff. Add a little chili powder and a sliver of butter. Ooooooomami.
