In which decade were 'Pot Noodles' introduced to Britain?

'Pot Noodle' is a type of instant noodle sold in the United Kingdom. They contain noodles, soya pieces, vegetables, and seasoning powder with a packet of sauce that can be added to taste. They were first introduced to the UK in 1977 by the snack manufacturer Golden Wonder. They are prepared by adding boiling water, which softens the noodles and dissolves the powdered seasoning.

Today, 'Pot Noodle' is owned by Unilever and manufactured in Croespenmaen, Wales. Typically, 175 million pots are produced every year. They come in various flavours, including Chow Mein, Chicken and Mushroom, Beef and Tomato, Piri Piri Chicken, and Original Curry.

The brand also produces pasta versions, called 'Pot Pasta'. These come in different flavours, such as Creamy Carbonara, Bolognese, Thai Green Curry, and Katsu Curry.
