Cup Noodles, a long-time favorite food of the sodium depleted and the seriously stoned, has created a breakfast option.

"The wacky mix of ingredients is on brand for Cup Noodle, which often fuses traditional noodles with local flavors that it thinks will be appealing to consumers," he told CNN.

"Cup Noodles Breakfast" goes on sale for $1.18 beginning Wednesday at select Walmart stores and on the retailer's website.
