==Production== [[File:Harvest festival offerings at St Andrews Church, Southgate 02.jpg|thumb|upright|Pot Noodle harvest festival offerings, [[St Andrew's Southgate]], London]] Pot Noodles are manufactured in [[Croespenmaen]], near [[Crumlin, Caerphilly]], [[Wales]], which became the topic of an advertising campaign of 2006, showing fictitious Pot Noodle mines in Wales.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/4753813.stm|title=From Pot Noodle to pit for advert|date=2006-05-09|publisher=[[BBC News]]|access-date=2015-12-11|archive-date=2009-05-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090501190141/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/4753813.stm|url-status=live}}</ref> The factory typically produces 175 million pots annually.<ref name=":0" /> Around 2006, Pot Noodle's recipe was changed to make the product healthier.
