The following is for reference:
Instant noodles in the 1990s.
1. Superpower surface.
The first time I knew the term instant noodles was in the first week when Grandpa opened a shop. A female college student asked if there were any super instant noodles. The next day, Grandpa entered this kind of noodles.
Packaging: light green background. There is a big rooster in the middle. What impressed me most is the humble small pepper sign in the lower left corner of the packaging. It turns out that this little thing distinguishes between spicy and non-spicy, and if you don't pay attention, you will buy it as spicy. Don't look at that small pepper, it's quite spicy!
Price: 60 cents
2. Master Kong braised beef noodles.
Demand exceeds supply, goods are out of stock, and they are not uncommon at that time. I once ate it, and it was really delicious, but I haven't eaten it since it was spicy. But its success led to the brand of Master Kong. Today, it is no exaggeration to give the braised beef noodles to Master Kong. "Master Kong instant noodles are delicious!" I think this slogan is still fresh in everyone's memory
Packing: Brown and white patterns alternate with each other. At that time, there were few double-package seasonings.
Price: 1 block 5
3. Yingduo
Yingduo was the only instant noodle that had the strength to compete with Master Kong at that time. It was also my favorite instant noodle brand at that time. The soup was delicious, the noodles were tumbling, and the quantity was affordable. I remember that there were two flavors. Due to insufficient innovation, Yingduo gradually lost its previous competition with Master Kong. What a pity.
Packaging: green tone, there is a child eating noodles.
Price: 1 block 1
4. Seven treasures and one ding.
The brand Qibao Yiding was a smash hit at that time. It was very popular with children and women with a variety of flavors and small packages. But the good times did not last long, and Qibao Yiding instant noodles gradually declined.
Packaging: What impressed me most was that there was a big word "fresh" on the packaging.
Price: 50 cents
5. Master Kong Taiwan Province Danzai noodles
What impressed me the most was not its taste, but its distinctive name. With the arrival of Taiwan Province Danzai noodles, the new packaging of bowl noodles came into being, and Master Kong was at the forefront of the instant noodle industry. Braised beef noodles and Taiwan Province Danzai noodles became the two most popular ones. "Sir, are you a top-notch or a hotel? The slogan "I eat noodles" is still clear in my mind.
Packaging: similar to braised beef noodles but lighter in color.
Price: 1 block 5. Bowl noodles 2 yuan.
6. Jieli instant noodles
Jieli instant noodles were born in the era of instant noodle brands, which determined that its survival would be extremely difficult. Sure enough, Jieli instant noodles soon faded out of the market.
Packaging: the panel is long. I remember there is a cartoon detective standing on the packaging, which is very distinctive, but the packaging is also rough.
Price: 90 cents
7. Lucky side
It seems that it was born earlier than Jieli, with stronger vitality and more complete taste. However, it was only a flash in the pan, and it didn't last for a few years. I only remember that it was the first manufacturer who dared to make crab yellow taste. Although it tasted good, the crab yellow taste could not be tasted at all. Hehe
Packing: I can't remember.
Price: 1 block
8. Master Kong's fresh shrimp noodles.
The successful appearance of fresh shrimp noodles marks the basic establishment of the team advantage of Master Kong's instant noodles. Because it tastes good and not spicy, it has become a kind that I often eat up to now. This is the charm and strength of Master Kong! I remember that Master Kong braised beef, Taiwan Province Danzai and fresh shrimp noodles were put together at that time, and the momentum was extraordinary.
Packing: There is a big shrimp on the blue and white stripes.
Price: 1 block 5
9. Unify Zhajiang Noodles, Chili Noodles.
Their sudden arrival has injected fresh blood into instant noodles, which makes Uni-President brand occupy a place in the market and become the most powerful competitor of Master Kong. The Zhajiang Noodles method without soup shows its innovation and tastes quite good. They are just like the braised beef noodles and Taiwan Province Danzai noodles owned by Master Kong, which are the cards of Uni-President and also the iconic brands.
Packaging: Zhajiang Noodles: purple; Hot sauce noodles: orange
Price: 1 block 2
10. Longfeng noodles
In the general market environment of pursuing more materials, Longfeng is moving against the trend. The "low-end" construction of single-package materials makes it have a certain market volume in the working class, which is somewhat similar to Chaoli. However, the classic and taste of Chaoli have been deeply rooted in people's hearts and cannot be shaken.
1 1. Unify "Come to a bucket"
Uniform bowl noodles. Different from Master Kong's bowl noodles in shape, the quantity is larger.
Price: 4 yuan (it was sky-high at that time)
12. Unification 100
The appearance of Uni-President 100 set off another upsurge. Its appearance made the instant noodle industry enter its heyday, and also made Uni-President brand gain a firm foothold in the market. At this time, the variety of instant noodles was very complete, with all kinds of flavors. Its prestige in the market finally forced Master Kong to make some moves.
Packing:100g of pasta
Price: 2 yuan
13. Master Kong Mianba 120
Its appearance is obviously to compete with Uni-President 100. No matter the quantity or packaging, it is extremely similar. At this time, the competition between Uni-President and Master Kong has reached a fever pitch.
Price: 2 yuan
I hope I can help you!
