The Return of Lucky Me Pancit Canton

About that title: No, Lucky Me Pancit Canton never really went away. But their management decided to F up something that completely works and never needed any changes (they were on bad bunk acid). The old Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton got buried that fateful day and the “new and better” version just decided to replace our first love.

Such is life when one of the best cheap death-causing fave food just mutates and gets destroyded overnight (?) and forces you to accept all bad changes, and then expect you to just “deal with it” (?).

For a few years I accepted it and dealt with the crappy quality and the new flavor, mix, and overbloated noodles. Well yeah it had a bigger serving and was still cheap. On the side, I would openly engage with Indomie, Nissin Spicy Chicken Yakisoba, and a few others because they’re much better. I’ve also trashed it a couple of times in this website and put it in the bottom rank while crying (hehh) for the oldschool Lucky Me.

But today after opening a six pack of the new Lucky Me Pancit Canton Noodles Chilimansi Flavor that I bought weeks ago, we can say it’s finally back. The rich corporate pancit overlords of Lucky Me decided to finally, totally listen to their customers after years of incessant complaints and nostalgia. They should – the customer is always right. That, and they’re gonna be even more fat and filthy rich after selling tons of this and die from dirty pancit money hehe.

There’s no changes to nutritional value or anything of course. It’s basically junk food that has loads of bad carbs, fat, sodium, and other nasty goodness that we all love. You’re gonna die anyway, might as well enjoy it the RIGHT way.

Yeahhhh, the old school flavor and thinner old school noodles are back, and they taste spectacular. The only thing they retained was the serving size of the noodles, so now you can eat more and proceed to die of it at a faster rate.

Thank you for coming back to my life, and please never ever change.
