Hangover Taxi Service: Noddle Soup Company Offers 'Kab-U-To-Work'

If you had a few too many drinks last night, but still have to go to work in the morning, London's, Kabuto Noodles, has come up with a solution.

According to the Huffington Post, the instant noddle company has a new hangover taxi called "Kab-U-To Work," for those who "do not have the good sense to go home early enough to sleep off the booze."

The UK-based company said the car shows up with  orange juice, headache medication, sunglasses, breath mints, and a bowl of steaming hot Kabuto soup. The driver will also play soothing music, if asked.

Another benefit for commuters' is the taxi is free, according to the Kabuto website.

"What could be more convenient when you're hung over than a door-to-door taxi service and a Kabuto Hangover Pack to get you back to your desk in a fit enough state to face your inbox and your colleagues," Crispin Busk, founder of Kabuto Noodles, told the Daily Mail.

According to the Ali Maynard, account director for Kabuto, since starting service, last week, the company has had close to 30 riders. They're currently booked until Christmas Eve with over 500 email requests.

"We have seen a huge response online from noodle fans eating Kabuto, stating it's their favorite hangover cure," Crispin Busk, founder of Kabuto Noodles said. "We wanted to take this a little bit further and provide the ultimate hangover service."

Kabuto Noodles is currently operating only in London, but the company is reportedly looking to expand the "hangover taxi" coverage in the coming year. The trail, which launched on Dec. 11, will run until Christmas.

"We're going to assess expanding after Christmas and look at our most viable options,"Maynard said. "The response has been crazy. It'd be probably to Bristol or a nearby city, but I think if we expand to the United States, New York would love it." 

If you're in the London area and plan on booze, take advantage of the "hangover taxi," by booking a ride using the email address kabutowork@kabutonoodles.com or tweet @kabutonoodles using #Kabutowork.
