Momofuku Ando, 96; inventor's Cup Noodle RIP
"How I Invented Magic Noodles," Ando's eureka moment occurred in 1957, when he noticed a long line of customers waiting for service outside a noodle shop. He asked himself if there was not a faster way to serve all those busy-but-famished construction workers and salarymen who were working late shifts and overtime hours to rebuild Japan after the war.
A year later, he introduced what was first called "Chiken Ramen."
