At first, look at the picture of this entry:

In the entry I wrote, "I think it will disappear from the store shelf soon." Exactly as I wrote in the entry above, that instant noodle disappeared after a while. It must have been unpopular. However, I found a new type of Man's Noodle at the same convenience store today. When I bought the noodle last time, the price was unreasonably low. I'm not sure, but the store owner wanted to clear out the stock and I fell into his trap.
By the way, take a look at the picture below. The word "Die Hard 4.0 and Bruce Willis" caught my eyes. "Why is he on the package of instant noodles?"
It was special sales campaign. If the winning ticket was in the package, you win! You'll receive the goods that makes and trains men. (I don't know what it is.) It might be a kind of trainer or cosmetics for men. Bruce is a hero among men in Japan too.
Anyway I bought this Man's Noodle again, though I wrote that it would be the last time I tasted it in the entry...
.... and I tried it just after I had written the above.
The taste was a little improved but it was not good for me. I realized that I will never learn.
