I saw these two Maruchan ramen packets next to each other at a Walmart, and decided to taste test them.
They taste the same, and they are the same. There's nothing to review.Oriental had a 2015 copyright date, 2019 for Soy Sauce. Both had a similar expiration date, probably August 2020.
Soy Sauce is clearly the politically correct rebranding. The competitor, Nissin (Top Ramen), did the same.
Bring back Mushroom flavor, you fucks!

And without a problematic name either:

I should say that I don't just eat these by themselves (although I expect they'd be okay that way too), I use either chicken or beef broth instead of water and add garlic and sriracha to add to the kick.
Then I stir-fry some veggies (broccoli & carrots, chinese broccoli or bok choy, etc.) with cubed pork or beef.
The flavor packets along with some garlic go with the meat/veggies and once the noodles are about half done, they and their broth go in the pan with the other stuff. Three to five more minutes and deliciousness ensues!
Then again, if you don't like spicy (the flavor packets really aren't all that spicy) you can forego the sriracha.

I don't usually make a soup out of these. Instead I put stir-fry type ingredients on the cooked drained noodles, make it into yakisoba, or whatever.
I like to incorporate some kimchi too, since I'm making it by the 2-gallon bucket.

I generally use less liquid than is called for, but I do enjoy the broth as well. But I am a soup guy.
Just the noodles with added stuff is tasty too though.
I've used kimchi at times as well which adds a very nice flavor.
I do generally cook just for me and eat what I cook when I make it.
But if you're making enough for multiple meals, draining the liquid (as you're well aware) makes a lot of sense as the noodles will keep absorbing the liquid until they are just mush. Yuck.

I just use broth instead of water and add sriracha and crumbled up bacon. Still nearly as fast and it's spicy and has bacon in it.

Just saw mushroom flavor along with a few I haven't seen in a while like pork and creamy chicken. I want tomato back.

Creamy Chicken seems to be really common, not rare at all. Stores will carry Chicken and Beef at a minimum, then probably Oriental, a "spicy" one, and Creamy Chicken. Mushroom is not back according to the company, but there is supposedly Chicken Mushroom (which I haven't seen in years). I never knew that Tomato existed, until I was looking at an FAQ earlier.

Go to an Oriental (haha) store and peruse their selection of ramen. You'll wonder why you ever put up with the meagre selection and uninspired flavors at the longnosed supermarket.
I'm sure you could find a good mushroom soup there. Many of them have dried meats and vegetables rather than having been turned to seasoning powder.
My current favorite is the Korean 辛 soup: A good pick-me-up and also an excellent decongestant when sick.

I could probably just mix kimchi with hot broth and call it a soup.
This time I'm trying to lightly carbonate the kimchi. I'll see if it works in about a week or two.

I can get Nongshim almost anywhere. Infinitely better than Maruchan or Nissin!
Mushroom was the best of the Maruchan tho' 😉.

Top Ramen has a Chili (Vegetarian) flavor that I don't remember seeing. Perhaps, it was new stock in the store and not a new flavor, but it's pretty tasty.
