a sad day

The inventor of instant noodles, Momofuku Ando, has died in Japan, aged 96, of a heart attack.

Mr Ando was born in Taiwan in 1910 and moved to Japan in 1933, founding Nissin Food Products Co after World War II to provide cheap food for the masses.

His most famous product, Cup Noodle, was released in 1971.

In breaking news it is emerging that the heart attack was brought on because he'd filled the container slightly past the fill level.

Serves him right if he wants to be reckless like that i say
