Sunfeast YiPPee!, one of the most popular instant noodle brands in India, has yet again demonstrated innovation in the instant noodles segment with the launch of a new consumer experience through Quik Mealz that offers noodles in a bowl. The newest offering brings a welcome change in the segment in the country as instant noodles will now be available to consumers in a Bowl format.

Following innumerable trials conducted to ensure a superior instant noodle experience, Sunfeast YiPPee! Quik Mealz was launched in a bowl format with a broad container base which makes it extremely easy to mix and consume noodles, and a lid to ensure no heat escapes the bowl in the preparation process which guarantees evenly cooked noodles. The superior format, coupled with delicious flavors results in a well-mixed and ‘tasty’ noodle experience in a bowl.

Sunfeast YiPPee!’s Quik Mealz range has been specially crafted to match the evolving lifestyle requirements of young adults who are constantly seeking convenient options, without compromising on the taste.  Consumers can now enjoy Sunfeast YiPPee!’s differentiated long, slurpy and tasty noodle appeal without much effort, by just adding hot water to a bowl of noodles. The thoughtfully developed offering - Sunfeast YiPPee! Quik Mealz is backed by extensive research and development, coupled with in-depth consumer insights, and will be available in two variants, Veggie Delight & Chicken Delight.

Conceptualized to offer consumer experiences beyond the traditional instant noodles, YiPPee! was launched in 2010 at the backdrop of a growing need for variety in the category. Consumers’ trust and appreciation have helped YiPPee! achieve significant value and scale since its launch and today it is nearly an INR 1300  crore brand in terms of consumer spending. With a growing consumer franchise, YiPPee! has consolidated its position as the second-largest instant noodles brand in the country. YiPPee! also witnessed an unprecedented increase in consumer demand, owing to a significant uptick in essentials in recent times, and has seen strong growth during the current year
