No , styrofoam dome cups are not microwavable .

Let me set the scene. It’s around 6 p.m., you’ve just gotten home from work or school, and you’re dead tired. So, you reach for a cup of noodles because it’s simple, delicious, and quick to make. You peel back the lid, fill the cup with water, pop it in the microwave, and happy sigh dinner is ready!

And if that was your routine, then you may be shocked to learn that the company behind Cup Noodles, Nissin Foods, recentlyannouncedthat they’ll begin filling grocery stores with paper cups in 2024 — which will make the product microwavable for the first time since their US launch in 1973.

Yes. The noodle cups have not been microwave safe for about 50 years.

Many people have apparently been ignoring the warning label for the past half century, because a culture pagesharedNissin’s new product news on Twitter, and 42 million views later, the internet erupted in shock.
