As much as I try to stay away from instant food consumption, I admit, I still eat Cup-O-Noodles. They are simple, cheap, and with the right accent (hot sauce, bouillon cubes, or Rooster Sauce) they are quite delicious. The only problem? At times, I get sucked into whatever I am doing and forget about my insta meal. And there is nothing grosser than mushy instant noodles.
Enter the Cup-O-Noodle timer.
The handy gadget runs on batteries, flashes lights and beeps when time is up. The timer is not preset so you can have it count down from whatever your perfect timing is. Mine is 2:25, since I like my noodles al dente. It is also portable, so you can take it home from your office, school, if you are afraid someone will steal it.
The flashing lights and beeping is also good for 3:00am drunk munchies and you’re not in a mood for a burrito. US$11.00 (gizfever)
