He gave us food that was cheap enough to allow us to buy expensive weed. And for that, I mourn him.

Momofuku Ando, the founder of Nissin Food Products Co. and inventor of instant ramen, died of heart failure Friday evening at a hospital in Ikeda, Osaka Prefecture, his family said. He was 96.

Momofuku Ando, founder of Nissin Food Products Co., stands inside a replica of the hut where Chicken Ramen was developed, at the Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum in Ikeda, Osaka Prefecture, in 1999.

Born on March 5, 1910, in Taiwan, Ando initially ran clothing companies in Taipei and Osaka while he was a student at Ritsumeikan University. In 1948, he founded the precursor to Nissin and in 1958 unveiled Chicken Ramen, the world's first instant noodle product.

Tonight, pour out a little spice packet on the curb to remember our dead homie.

As usual, you don't know what you're talking about. New York Magazine (for one) agrees with me, since they rated in the top 101 of all restaurants in the city.

PS. There is a difference between Ramen and Instant Ramen.

I think he meant to say that a comment about good ramen has no place in a thread about instant ramen.

You are much better at deciphering than I am. My apologies if that's the case.

Of course, it's still related since the restaurant shares its name with the guy who died.

Thank you for living to 93. Maybe now I won't feel as horrible about all the sodium and MSG I've ingested.
