Most people associate ramen with broke college students, but the story behind these instant noodles is far more surprising. The instant dinner is the brainchild of Momofuku Ando, a Japanese businessman who was on a mission to solve a post-WWII hunger crisis.

Before Ando solved the problem, making ramen took a lot of effort and some skill from the cook. It was hard to make it right, and as a result, it was eaten mainly in restaurants and shops. Ando's innovations made it possible for anyone to make reasonably good ramen at home and inexpensively. This was a huge thing at the time, and he is rightfully regarded as an icon.

Honestly I love mama noodles as in the brand and spicy noodles in generalities always hated the chicken and beef noodles since they didn’t taste as good until my uncle bought crab noodles they taste disgusting the noodles a paper thin and when cooked they have no flavour even with the seasoning packets and I’m not putting a lot of water inside but inside this man is a legend
