For any confused Americans, a British flapjack is not a pancake, it’s more of a soft granola bar.

Oh thanks, that really clears things up.
Yeah. You can add Canada to the confused list. Is "pot noodle" ramen or something?
Calling it ramen is like calling McDonald's "a restaurant"; but yeah, pretty much.
Picture:
Excellent anology.
Marijuana infused noodles. 😌
(Context for people out of the loop: this is a joke)
Imagine the shittiest possible form of ramen. That's the best pot noodles.
Bombay bad boy tho...
Dried noodles, a few peas and some flavouring in a plastic pot/tub/cup/container, which you add boiling water to to "cook".
Generally for eating at work/school etc, where you might want warm food but only have a kettle (electric water boiling device).
TIL that "pot noodle" is what Brits call instant noodles cups.
That can't possibly be the actual headline.

Well I'll be damned...
Sometimes you got to give them the ol'Pot Noodle Flapjack attack!
God a cup noodle AND a cliff bar? SUCH VIOLENCE!
When the cops protested he violently battered them with a soft cardboard cone of pink fluffy candy floss. /s
That sentence had more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie.
So...2?

Was expecting the Daily Sport with a headline like that
He should have used a sandwich
I thought milk shakes were preferred?
How about he can have all the booze he wants, but banned from violence?
