Joe Lycett’s complaint to Pot Noodle was hilarious but their response made it even better
Joe Lycett‘s not a man to ignore society’s wrongs, and he’s clearly also someone with a sound grasp of logic. Those two characteristics created the perfect storm for the makers of Pot Noodle, when he spotted an anomaly and felt the need to speak up.

Pot Noodle had a reply that perfectly complemented Joe’s comment – like a sachet of soy sauce complements dehydrated noodles and bits of chicken-flavoured stuff in a pot.
Dear Mr. Lycett,
You just had to go & bring daddy into it didn't you!? 🤨
You're not wrong, but 96% of our flavour / the amount stocked, x the square root of 4 taking the lowest common denomina…
Nah, you're so right.
Thanks for flagging, we're working on a solution.✊💕

We can think of a few politicians who could learn a lot from Pot Noodle’s answer, but we’re not sure they’re capable of learning. Here are a few appreciative reactions.
Why can't we vote for @joelycett? He'd get things done. https://t.co/jHEZWuymkf

Say whaaaatt? This is a travesty😱 Thank god we have dilligent men like @joelycett who protect us all and refuse to let these crooks prosper, let us rise up and refuse to take their small packets any longer!

Finally, T-shirt company, @McNuttsDesign, had an observation that seemed horribly relevant to these times.
If you can't even trust the CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation these days, who can you trust? #NoodleGate
