We have no idea when it happened exactly, but Lucky Me's Pancit Canton had a massive make-over!

It's not only the shape that has changed (square to circle, really?), but according to avid [Pancit Canton lovers] (https://twitter.com/search?q=pancit%20canton&src=typd), its distinct flavor is totally different from its original taste!
How is that even possible?
After giving this life-and-death issue some thought, we started reminiscing about our beautiful memories with the old Pancit Canton…

We've been eating Pancit Canton since we were kids!
Can you still remember this cute commercial from Lucky Me? It's been 9 years ago and Charice Pempengco was here!
We've always loved Lucky Me's commercials that remind us our Filipino values

We know the taste, texture, and smell of it even from afar!

We eat it as merienda! Sometimes with pandesal, eggs, luncheon meat, and rice! #sorop

We eat it after walking or running around UP Diliman (because every food stall offers Pancit Canton and we can't resist its enticing smell even when standing 50 meters away from it)

We. Just. Have. To. Eat. It.
We eat it with a glass of softdrinks to partner its greasiness (oh yeeeees)

We always serve it in our barkada reunions because it's literally part of our highschool days!
