Shoppers have been left stunned after spotting a popular item back on the shelves for Christmas – labelling the price “daylight robbery”.
The Pot Noodle Mug and Spinning Fork set costs £16.99.
The product, which is on sale at The Range, was shared in a Facebook shopping group.

While some people were excited by its return, others were shocked at the price tag.
“But who’s paying £16 for a Pot Noodle,” said Kelly.
“Pot noodle already comes in a pot no need for the mug and just twist your fork like a normal person, it’s so funny what people will spend their money on,” added Simon.
Kelvin added: “For £16.99 you can keep it! Daylight robbery.”
“I’ll wait for them to go on offer,” said Elizabeth.
“People will buy anything,” added Kev.
A man called Jordan tagged his friend Olivia, saying: “Found your Christmas present lol xxx.”
Another shopper, called David, tagged someone called Joe and joked: “You can get a spinny fork also now ….quick quick.”
But not everyone was put off by the price.
Michelle said: “I need one of these.”
Paul agreed, adding: “Definitely need this.”
A representative from The Range told Jam Press that the price for the product is cheaper than the same or similar items from many other retailers, with The Range reportedly offering a £5 saving.
This isn’t the first time a Pot Noodle product has caused a stir.
The ‘Pot Noel’ was spotted back on sale for Christmas last year by Glenn Kennedy, who runs a supermarket group online, and shared the news with his then 320,000 online members.
The limited-edition flavour left shoppers divided, with some labelling it “awful” and “disgusting”.
Though others said it could be “worth a try”, as reported by Need To Know.
Captioning his post, Glenn, who lives in Llandudno, wrote: “Well that’s Christmas dinner sorted. Gravy and Stuffing pot noodles, what’s everyone’s thoughts?”
The 100g pot was labelled as £1.35 at Tesco or 90p for Clubcard holders.
It is currently out of stock on the supermarket’s website but is likely it may return later in the year.
