Korean Girl Group, Bubble Bobble Promoting Ramen

Out to conquer the noodle market, Samyang Ramen hired the talents of Korean pop group Girls' Generation to help pump its brand. The company wasn't satisfied with just having the singers dance in white outfits and hug Samyang pillows; it composed an adorable, catchy tune for the girls to meow -- a song that sounds an awful lot like the Bubble Bobble theme! I doubt Samyang sought Taito's permission for the jingle.
I've eaten a lot of Samyang Ramen, and despite its Tide detergent-esque packaging, it's actually pretty good as far as instant ramen goes; just the right amount of spice, in my opinion. It never compelled me to spontaneously sing made-up words to the Bubble Bobble theme, but maybe I just haven't eaten the right flavor yet.
If you want to hear more of the song or if you just have a fetish for Asian women eating noodles, jump past the break for the commercials "Making Of" videos:
