RIP Momofuku Ando

Who is Momofuku Ando you ask? He probably touched your life and you didn't even know it. Momofuku Ando was the King of the instant Ramen Noodles.

What Would Natalie Do? Pay respects to the man who created her default lunch! How many of you have Ramen Noodles in your desk at work? (Go ahead, admit it...this is a safe space). My nephew has Ramen Noodles in his dorm room. The supermarket near me sells them by the case.

An article in the NY Times sums it up the best:

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Give him Ramen Noodles and you don't have to teach him anything. Mr. Ando will have an eternal place in the pantheon of human progress.
