Saving your Buldak hot sauce packets? Exchange for free food in NYC

MIDTOWN, Manhattan (PIX11) – If you’re the type of person to save your Buldak Ramen sauce packets, you’ll have the opportunity to exchange them for free food in New York City.

The Buldak Sauce Exchange Desk pop-up will be held near the Flatiron Building in Midtown on Oct. 17 through Oct. 20 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. You’ll be able to exchange old sauce packets for samples of Buldak Hot Sauce and free food, according to organizers.
