OSAKA — Momofuku Ando, the founder-chairman of Nissin Food Products Co, died of a heart failure on Friday evening at a hospital in Ikeda, Osaka Prefecture, his family said. He was 96. Ando was widely known as the inventor of instant noodles. In 1948, he founded the precursor of Nissin, before introducing "Chicken Ramen," the world's first instant noodle product, in 1958.

Tis a sad day for Asians and starving college students everywhere. :(

[Ran]

2 double chsburgers from the clown w/ the golden arch..That'll feed you everyday for a month for under $5.00? Maybe if you ate one meal per day.

[xXnimbusXx]

I doubt all that sodium killed him. He lived up to 96 something years old :( . Anyone past 70 years old has a weak body. So I doubt its the sodium. Im sad now. First Mr. Rogers now the ramen king. OH the tears keeps pouring.

Haha nice. Yeah I went to the BFM and got like a huge frikin box and then the individual packs for 35 cents a piece. YAY!

[Ran]

Haha nice. Yeah I went to the BFM and got like a huge frikin box and then the individual packs for 35 cents a piece. YAY!When it comes to budget dining, the individual packets are overpriced. Get the econo-sized box and you'll have food for a month without going over $10. The ones that come in the bowls with all the vegetables are good and a nice change of pace, but they're about $1.50 a bowl too.

Well I am on a budget but I cant have the same ramen all the time. Im currently eating the korean spicy udon noodles. Those are awesome. Add an egg or 2 and theres your protien. I add chives and eggs just to enjoy it more.

$1.50 - 20 Pack of Beef
$1.50 - 20 Pack of Shrimp

:lmfao:

Yea, I do the same thing with the eggs and chives. Really brings out the chicken flavor. I usually simmer some sliced beef and add them to my spicy kimchee ramen. :goodjob:

Not the one I got. It was like, 80 cents.

[BluesClues]

I love me some noodles. I have been eating them since I was like 5. My favorite flavor is shrimp and pork. Man that be the shit!!!! I live to sometimes add a little of Lawry's season salt and some garlic salt to the boiling water then drain them and put the flavor on with a little of water. That shit be fiya!!! It's like my own homemade soup.

[Hiro]

Yeah I've been eating them since birth too. I think my favorite Ramen memory is when I was five and an Uber-long one got stuck in my throat, like I had totally swalowed the first part and the rest was still off down in the bowl, and my mom just sat on teh other end of the table and watched me pull it out inch by inch. I think she was too grossed out to help me. lol. (^ _^)

[The Ninja]

WOW someone I can truly appreciate is gone. This is some seriously sad shit. Hope he had some sons so they can come up with some genius shit too.

[Infinite]

i'm so gangsta i eat the ramen without the water :eek:

[R3RUN]

I do the chicken just as noodles, not a soup. But the oriental has to be a soup. This is a sad day :( Im gonna eat another packet tonight after dinner.

[Crazy Asian]

FUCK!!! KOREANS ARE GONNA DIE NOW!!!!

[2.0civic]

i almost never maket he soup and just make noodles and some hot sauce. the el talapito sauce or some shit at kroger kicks ass

[green91]

He lived to be 96 because all the sodium from the noodles pickled his body from the inside out.

[joesblk_teg]

this is a sad day, i love ramen noodles, i like putting rooster/cock sauce, lime, cilantro, and a dash of fish sauce to mine, that shit is off the chain, but i am eager to find some different ways to spice up one of the best foods that has ever been dawned upon college students, any other ways to spice up ramen?

[Ran]

WOW someone I can truly appreciate is gone. This is some seriously sad shit. Hope he had some sons so they can come up with some genius shit too.He had two sons I believe.

[ruffriderGA]

[Ran]

Two packs of Maruchan Chicken Flavor with an egg in honor. RIP Momofuku-sama. :cry:
