Cup Noodle In Space
Date: 11/2/2005
PCWEB mentions a new commercial spot for Cup Noodle partially filmed on the International Space Station. The theme of the CM spot is "NO BORDER" and has a soundtrack by Mr.Children. Therein Russian cosmonauts Valery Tokarev Sergei Krikalev filmed parts of the commercial in the Zvezda module. A Soyuz rocket took up the movie camera material, the cup noodle, and the 2 cosmonauts on October 1 this year. The commercial was filmed in orbit and the tape returned to Earth on the 11th. It is said that there was a big restriction in the machinary that can be brought into space because of the special environment. Likewise, Nissin Foods had to make a special verison of Cup Noodle for the space shot because the usual recipe would scatter, possibly breaking down peripheral machine parts. A Sony HDV camcoder "HVR-Z1J" was used to film the CM. The cosmonauts were directed in how to film the scenes needed via real time video link. After it's development in 1971, Cup Noodle has been put on the market in 80 countries (some have special localized flavors). Total sales have reached as many as 23 billion food items.
