If there’s one thing that connects every Filipino across generations, it’s the warmth of a freshly cooked Lucky Me! Pancit Canton. It’s the comforting soup our moms make on rainy days, the petsa de peligro lifesaver that never disappoints, the quick fix after long classes, and the ultimate group project meal—because let’s be honest, may ambag man o wala, laging may Lucky Me! sa table.

Now, that same comfort is getting a witty, wearable twist. In time for National Noodle Day, Lucky Me! and Linya Linya team up for a limited-edition collab that turns every “sarap” memory into a statement piece. The result? Shirts and totes that bring the humor, nostalgia, and proudly Pinoy feels we all grew up with.

Launched last October 2 at the Monde Nissin HQ, the collaboration was officially revealed through a fun and witty celebration packed with laughs, noodles, and nostalgia. Lifestyle media, creators, and fans got the first look at the three-piece collection: the “Pang-shirt Canton” tee, the “Pancituationship” shirt, and the “Carry On Pancit Canton” tote bag.

Each piece reflects a different side of the Lucky Me! experience from the everyday comfort we crave, to the playful “hugot” moments we all relate to. “Pang-shirt Canton” is a clever nod to how Lucky Me! Pancit Canton is always there—pang-breakfast, pang-snack, pang-dinner, and now, pang-shirt. Meanwhile, “Pancituationship” speaks to every Gen Z who’s ever had that complicated love… for food and people alike. Rounding it up, the “Carry On Pancit Canton” tote bag reminds us to bring the comfort wherever life takes us.

The launch captured that same kwela and relatable energy with a comedy set by Nonong Ballinan and James Caraan of KoolPals, interactive photo walls, and even a National Noodle Day dedication board where guests shared their own Lucky Me! memories. Of course, the day wouldn’t be complete without a noodle bar—featuring everyone’s favorite Pancit Canton served with toppings galore.

Gen Dela Peña, Integrated Marketing Communications Head of Monde Nissin, shared, “Lucky Me! has always been part of Filipino lives—not just on the table but in every kwento that brings comfort and joy. With Linya Linya, we’re making that comfort wearable, shareable, and truly part of pop culture.”

Ali Sangalang, Co-Founder of Linya Linya, added, “At Linya Linya, we’ve always turned everyday Pinoy wit into something you can relate to and this collab with Lucky Me! just makes sense. Both brands are part of our lives, from the stories we share to the moments we laugh about. Now, you can literally wear what you’re feeling.”

More than just merch, the Lucky Me! x Linya Linya collab is a celebration of shared experiences from childhood comfort to college merienda and barkadahan kwento. It’s a nod to how something as simple as Pancit Canton can feel like home.

The limited-edition collection is available for a short run only at Linya Linya’s online store. Don’t miss your chance to wear your favorite comfort food—because this is it, Pancit!
