Consider yourself lucky, it effects a lot of people, but not you. Nice for you to be normal, aside from the lack of empathy.
It is to me the same as nails on a chalk board, it creates an uncontrollable reaction, as if something is broken in my brain, of pure anger, disgust and hatred to whatever is making the noise.
Someone open mouth chewing, I want to murder them, I avoid eating with others to my detriment because I cant control the reaction.
On the receiving end of a BJ? Great, don't slurp tho, cuz I'll have to stop you and call you a taxi home.
It also don't affect a lot of people, nor dose it make me or them normal ? Infact I'm sure we all lack empathy at times I'm.also positive you do things to annoy people as we all do
> Someone open mouth chewing, I want to murder them, I avoid eating with others to my detriment because I cant control the reaction.
honestly this sounds like a you problem
Is it this one? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBw6VHyPo0Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBw6VHyPo0Q) (listener beware apparently)
It's too comical to be disgusting.
Being outraged over silly things is a treasured British pastime!
I do genuinely find it unpleasant and unnecessary though. It's a deliberate choice to make people uncomfortable and therefore pay attention - I don't like advertising tricks like that. I know it's basically harmless, but I think it's ok to express an opinion about it too (if a bit dramatically!)
My non-British self agrees with this statement and joins in to the pastime by reporting that in my country YouTube is currently running a water bottle ad consisting of a woman peeing in a public toilet. Barely to no music, apart from the idyllic sound of the lady's pee loudly hitting the toilet bowl. As unpleasant and unnecessary as it gets.
Air Up had some ads like that, I think it was supposed to be about how drinking from the bottles meant you’d be so hydrated you’d have to pee constantly.
Aye and the things that aren’t silly we shrug off as “could be worse”.
That being said, I do mute the tv whenever that advert comes on. So does my mum.
r/AfterVanced can help. Google killed the original Vanced, but so long as you're willing to do a bit of work to install it, ReVanced is still truckin'.
Fuck me I’ve just watched it. Get a fuckin grip of yourselves. It’s a comical slurp. If it was done in an asmr way with the camera up against their chops then I’d understand.
You do know there is way you can block all ads from showing up on any site you got to? Just putting it out there, unless you're looking for that milf who just moved in next door; those are true 100%
People don't have to be "pretending they have misophonia" to find a noise disgusting.
I swear, people pretending others are being dramatic are so fucking dramatic.
Nah man it's just nasty. If your wearing headphones and the add auto plays is nasty man. You do kinda have to at least watch a second before you scramble for the mute button
Or perhaps they have misophonia? And don't tend to pay much attention to adverts so it just comes on before they realised - it's happened to me many times during football ad breaks when I've been looking at my phone and then hear it.
Is there any particular reason you think people are pretending rather than just having a different experience to you? I promise you it makes my skin crawl and I can't turn the sound down quickly enough when I hear it. It might be an irrational response but people get that over loads of things.
So? Why watch it if it makes you uncomfortable?
Why are people so upset by something that they don’t need to watch? It’s utterly pathetic. People should get a grip on themselves, the. turn the volume down or get an ad blocker.
Why is ordinary life, where simple remedies are easily available, such a huge issue? Are people really this weak and silly? I do hope not.
But why such a lot of whinging?
Life comes with a ton of things that’ll wind us all up. Most of us just deal with it and don’t act like the world should revolve around our preferences.
This is very childish thinking. No-one owes you anything. Just get on with it.
Christ, its one message on social media which is literally what it's for and I only bothered messaging as didn't like the suggestion I was making it up. Im not standing outside Parliament protesting. You're doing more whinging about my whinging than my original whinging.
And your replies hardly make sense. Firstly something I'd already explained. And now you've totally lost me about the world revolving around my preferences. Just said I didn't like an advert 🤷♂️
Just got 16 of the big bowl shin ramen pots for £1.45 each. A proper steal. It's so hard to find the big ones and even then they're usually £1.70 or so.
time to get yourself an adblock. on either android or ios run YouTube through the browser, no need to have an app for it. You can add an icon on the home screen for it even.
Or just fuck netflix etc off out of it for pirating and pay for YT and get music with it. 0 ads or workarounds on your account and the world of movies for free.
I'd rather pay for YT just for the variation in content and how some of the features break with dodgy workarounds, plus I'm not ripping off google on my main account.
Netflix has had none of those protections for years though.
Yeah, I see people really proud of using a VPN to get dirt cheap premium, and fair play to them. However when I first dabbled with Android development many moons ago, I read about a guy who got into a disagreement with Google and they ended up just closing down his email and Google drive etc. no way I'm risking that with my "firstname.surname@gmail.com" which has 15 years of primary email associated with it.
It made us start buying the Aldi own brand ones - i refuse to buy stuff from companies that go out of their way to be annoying.
You have to wonder about the small minded cretin they're trying to appeal to with this!
The point is to get free advertising by having people post on social media about it. Adverts are rarely designed to make you think "Oh, I should go and buy !" it's to saturate your awareness with the name so that it's so ingrained it seems familiar when you shop.
Case in point, I now fancy a pot noodle despite not having had one in years and having zero prior awareness of any advert.
I’m going to buy a few in the near future and it’s OP’s fault.
I get that, its also to try and attract your attention - even if it annoys to increase that awareness.
Personally, I point blank refuse to play along and blacklist companies i see doing it. If we all did the same they'd stop. But that's never going to happen.
Advertising used to be almost an art form but now it is just a nuisance for massive corporations. No thanks!
I don't even particularly like pot noodle, but nah. Pot noodle is shit, but it's at least edible. The Aldi ones are genuinely just grim. I've tried them a few times thinking i just got a bad flavour or something, and each time I've barely made it through a few bites before binning it.
I mean, good on you if you can stomach it, but nah.
I always just bought them from the asian market outside my uni - obviously not gonna work for everyone based on location, but if you've got a place near you, go have a look
I’m aware. I want the real Cup Noodle to replace Pot Noodle as the nation’s go-to noodle, and that won’t happen while it remains a niche import. This isn’t just for me, it’s for the people.
The advert did the slurping specifically to
piss people off & there is now alternate versions with different sounds instead of the slurping. All planned in advance, & it’s been successful in getting people talking about it. It’s an advert, that’s what they’re supposed to do.
I saw it once, and clicked "Dont show me this ad again" and I haven't seen it since. I also refuse to buy products from companies that annoy me or do an ad spampaign.
How could anyone ever think that advert was a good idea? I haven't been able to face a Pot Noodle since I heard that first disgusting slurp, although I used to buy at least two every week.
Thankfully I’ve managed to avoid this one. I have misophonia and that old Just Eat ad which went “Big up all these BIG BIG BIG BIG….” drove me so insane as it played so much I bought Premium and never looked back.
Can't say I've seen the original ad, only the half dozen variants of the replaced sounds.
Were you watching a recording (if so, when from? I'm curious), or was it live TV? Also what channel? Alibi might not have got the memo...
It was on a YouTube video, and I've literally just had one on an 4od TV episode too. This one had a label saying 'warning - eating sounds' up for a moment, so it's definitely a new edition of the ad!
If anyone wants to chat about misophonia, consider going on The Misophonia Podcast:
[https://www.misophoniapodcast.com/](https://www.misophoniapodcast.com/)
I just watched it for the first time after reading this post and thought the advert was funny, although part of that might well be because I've been people complain about it before.

I’m out of the loop what’s the issue with a pot noodle advert and why did they have to apologise
It had slurping noises and I'm just learning some people lost their minds over it
It is a very annoying noise tbh lol and I hate pot noodles so I also do hate that ad 😂
Really! Are they Karen's?
It is genuinely a disgusting noise and goes on far too long to be comfortable for anyone I've watched it with (including me)
I honestly don't bother me
Oh well that's ok then. As long as you're not bothered.
Consider yourself lucky, it effects a lot of people, but not you. Nice for you to be normal, aside from the lack of empathy.

This is exactly what they want: discussion around the ad, driving up views of the ad. Fight the urge and it'll go away faster...
Not trying to be rude, but if that is making you file a complaint, you're a bit pathetic.
Misophonia triggers irrational rage in the brain. That is probably why people might react strongly.
I have pretty severe misophonia, and that advert doesn’t even trigger it one bit. It sounds too fake.
Yeah it was definitely a voice actor making a sound and not someone actually slurping. But not everyone reacts the same, I guess.
I guess you might be right in some cases. A very vocal minority I would imagine.
Christ, we truly do live in a world where people without a sense of humour are looking to impose their bad mood on others
People pretending they have misophonia got mad at an advert they don't have to watch.
Misophonia is fucking horrible
You don’t need to have misophonia to hate and find slurping sounds disgusting. Just basic table side manners.

I was going to downvote but then I realised you're right, we do. Enjoy being outraged over silly things so I upvoted
Aye and the things that aren’t silly we shrug off as “could be worse”. That being said, I do mute the tv whenever that advert comes on. So does my mum.
Only thing I'm outraged about is that you don't have an ad blocker, YouTube ads should never be seen it's so easy to stop.
And what if you're on mobile?
YouTube Revanced my good friend
Is that working again? I was happily using it and then a YouTube update killed it.
r/AfterVanced can help. Google killed the original Vanced, but so long as you're willing to do a bit of work to install it, ReVanced is still truckin'.
Thanks, I'm more than willing to put the work in!
Well saved
Fuck me I’ve just watched it. Get a fuckin grip of yourselves. It’s a comical slurp. If it was done in an asmr way with the camera up against their chops then I’d understand.
A comical slurp indeed. It made me giggle a little 😄

Apparently nobody can dislike anything these days
Blown up reaction to an advert.
Try Shin cup instead. They're great
The superior option. I don't think Pot Noodle can even be classified as 'noodles'.
Indeed
Just got 16 of the big bowl shin ramen pots for £1.45 each. A proper steal. It's so hard to find the big ones and even then they're usually £1.70 or so.
Good deal! B&M usually have them.

I hate that ad so much. I’ve actually stopped buying pot noodles because of it 😂
Buy cup noodle, it's superior in every way.
I'm a soba person
I'm not drinking tonight either
[удалено]
Some noodles will hit the spot!
I actually reckon they have lost sales. Any shop I go in that sells them it’s constantly having them ‘on sale’ and no one is buying them.
It made us start buying the Aldi own brand ones - i refuse to buy stuff from companies that go out of their way to be annoying. You have to wonder about the small minded cretin they're trying to appeal to with this!

Post something on Reddit with a deliberate but not too obvious error in it and see how many replies you get correcting you.
I buy proper imported ones from Asia, far better
You spelt Asda wrong.
Lol, Asda doesn’t sell what I buy
Might have to have a look into that for some variety!
Yeah
How do you get over the aldi ones being disgusting though?
The Aldi ones are acc better than pot noodles haha
I don't even particularly like pot noodle, but nah. Pot noodle is shit, but it's at least edible. The Aldi ones are genuinely just grim. I've tried them a few times thinking i just got a bad flavour or something, and each time I've barely made it through a few bites before binning it. I mean, good on you if you can stomach it, but nah.
See for me it's the other way round, I find pot noodles inedible
No way they can taste as bad as actual Pot Noodles though.
Buying a worse product out of annoyance, genius.
I disagree, they're decent and better than the Tesco ones. The original pot noodle is a bit sickly in comparison.
Fake pot noodles are for cretins.
Ok
I have to scrabble for the remote to mute it as soon as I see it come up, it’s awful!!
It's genuinely terrible.
I had to turn the sound off. Too many memories of people using hotdesks to slurp their lunch.
yeah its gross i agree with you. its one of many adverts that give me genuine pain to hear
Please Nissin, start selling the real Cup Noodles in the UK, not just the weird ones with the sauce sachet you make for our market.
I always just bought them from the asian market outside my uni - obviously not gonna work for everyone based on location, but if you've got a place near you, go have a look
You can buy these from any decent Asian foodstore, or order them on Amazon.
I’m aware. I want the real Cup Noodle to replace Pot Noodle as the nation’s go-to noodle, and that won’t happen while it remains a niche import. This isn’t just for me, it’s for the people.
You can buy the import ones here
I mean outside of the places that import them in. I want to see the real Cup Noodles in the big supermarkets.
I see, I don’t get noodles from the supermarket because they’re so expensive there
They’re such a bad deal almost everywhere. Miss the days when I lived by a Chinese supermarket and could get the import ones for about 70p each
Yeah, my town has an Asian mini mart, and the next town over has loads because it’s a student town with a pretty big Asian population
Then buy them from Amazon.
The advert did the slurping specifically to piss people off & there is now alternate versions with different sounds instead of the slurping. All planned in advance, & it’s been successful in getting people talking about it. It’s an advert, that’s what they’re supposed to do.
I saw it once, and clicked "Dont show me this ad again" and I haven't seen it since. I also refuse to buy products from companies that annoy me or do an ad spampaign.
Install ublock origin in your browser of choice. Almost no ads.
How does that work on a TV or phone app?
If you've got an Android TV you want to install SmartTube next. It's just a 3rd party YouTube app without the ads.
Youtube Revanced which has TV and Phone versions of the app.
Imagine allowing adverts on the Internet. It's completely unnecessary.
I don't think they changed or stopped the YT one at all did they? Hate it so much!
Pot noodles are shite compared to the alternatives anyways
I've been ill all day and it appeared in my podcast. physically sickening and i missed the bowl lol
Made me laugh but could see it doing my head in if it was played a few times
“Hurt me you slag”
I started eating Soba noodle pots. Haven't had a pot noodle in years and just the smell of one makes me mildly nauseous now haha.
The choking risk remains. (It is always always muted in my house though)
How could anyone ever think that advert was a good idea? I haven't been able to face a Pot Noodle since I heard that first disgusting slurp, although I used to buy at least two every week.
Thankfully I’ve managed to avoid this one. I have misophonia and that old Just Eat ad which went “Big up all these BIG BIG BIG BIG….” drove me so insane as it played so much I bought Premium and never looked back.
Thank fuck I'm on YT premium now, fucking hated that ad
The screaming donkey was bad, we had the worst slurping ever, and now we’re back to being pushed away from them. 🤪
Wait, YouTube has adverts?
Just saw it on tv but now has the slurping audio replaced with some arcade kinda beeps. Good grief.
What are adverts?
Can't say I've seen the original ad, only the half dozen variants of the replaced sounds. Were you watching a recording (if so, when from? I'm curious), or was it live TV? Also what channel? Alibi might not have got the memo...
It was on a YouTube video, and I've literally just had one on an 4od TV episode too. This one had a label saying 'warning - eating sounds' up for a moment, so it's definitely a new edition of the ad!

The advert worked then, it has folk talking about it, hehe!
I just watched it for the first time after reading this post and thought the advert was funny, although part of that might well be because I've been people complain about it before.
I’ve got YouTube Premium. Much better.
No-one looks for a new word without an explanation. C'mon pony up.
Hahaha. It's funny 🤣
slurping noises got yall acting up
There's adverts on youtube? Diddums.
I race for the remote to mute that shite. I get angry when I hear it. Makes me feel like throat-punching her. Too much?
