Why is this work relevant for Entertainment?

Starting in 2015, we launched a series of films called "House of Little Moments". The films combined creative Uni Noodle fusion recipes and an important idea, “Flavoured by moods”. The beloved serial films are launched every year and its unique cinematic storytelling and profound dialogue has become an exclusive characteristic. Such kind of marketing campaign is quite iconic and one and only in the instant noodles market. In season 4, while keeping its well-received elements, we also combined Taiwanese consumers’ different ways of eating noodles, turn watching advertisements into a personality test, providing a fresh viewing experience for consumers.

Describe the creative idea

We launched serial films, "You Are How You Slurp", engaging people to find out: what kind of personalities do they have while eating noodles? The series film continues Uni Noodle’s core idea, "Flavoured by mood", and this time, the noodle shop owner analyzes his guests and personalities while narrating their stories according to their different eating habits, and create the bespoke recipes. Viewers can select different films, based on different ways of eating noodles, so watching advertisements turn into doing a personality test, at the same time, viewers can also realize how a bowl of instant noodles with its unchanged flavor turns into a variety of creative dishes to comfort different customers having different personalities.

And there’s a situation that happened to have relevance with in the noodle eating culture - everyone eats noodles in a different way. Moreover, our series film’s protagonist, noodle shop owner likes to observe his guests and interpret their stories. So we combine these three elements and create a new series, “You Are How You Slurp”, the owner analyzes different ways of eating noodles. While enjoying the unique and cinematic storytelling style of “House of Little Moments”, people are not just watching commercials, but doing a personality test!
