Crube Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/instan...7777312340.html Momofuku Ando aka 'The Ramen King' died of heart failure. R.I.P It been eaten by millions of college students and office workers on overtime. It's been sent into space as lunch for NASA astronauts. It's the instant noodle, invented by Momofuku Ando, who died on January 6, 2007. Thank you for creating something that kept me from starving to death the last 2 years of my life. Rest in peace... I am eating a cup of that stuff right now. :sad: Link to comment

Ceraziefish Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 This is truly a sad, sad day. When I get back to my dorm on Sunday we are going to have a candle light vigil and a long moment of silence. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Did anyone else read the rest of the article? It's seriously great. Ando was inspired to develop the instant noodle after coming upon a long line of people on a cold night shortly after World War II waiting to buy freshly made ramen at a black market food stall, according to Nissin. The experience convinced him that "Peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat," it said. Showcasing his Space Ram noodles in front of reporters, Ando said: "I'm happy I've realised my dream that noodles can go into space." Link to comment
