The simple rule when you're creating Final Fantasyswag: go comically oversized.
Nissin Foods, the Japanese noodle company, knows what's up. An upcoming celebration of Final Fantasy's 30th anniversary will include the Cup Noodles maker's extremely limitedrelease of an "Ultima Weapon Fork."

Not you, specifically, mind you. Nissin is only making 30 of these things, and they can only be acquired through a lottery. To enter, you'd need to purchase the "Final Fantasy Boss Collection," a 15-pack of Cup Noodles in which each is adorned with the image of a boss from the 15 numbered Final Fantasygames.
Unless you live in Japan, you might have a hard time obtaining even the Cup Noodles set. But it sure is a cool thing to look at, right?
If you're scratching your head and wondering what a popular instant ramen brand has to do with a long-running RPG series, then you probably haven't played Final Fantasy XV. Cup Noodles has an outsized presence in the game, even serving as the focus of a multi-part quest.
Its appearance in the game strikes a great balance between overt product placement and goofy humor. You know very well that a product is being peddled, but you don't care because it's so ridiculous and self-aware.
This Ultima Weapon Fork is pretty much a physical manifestation of that same thing.
