Cup Noodles (and more generally instant noodles) is easily one of the most important inventions ever. It's cheap, it's nutritious, it stores well (and easily), it ships easily (read: cheaply), and it prepares simply and quickly. Most importantly, it's delicious. I know of no other food that checks all these boxes and then some.

Immigrants are 60-80% more likely to start businesses. This is due to various factors. While discrimination and lack of opportunity might be a factor, it’s more likely because immigrants tend to be less risk averse as a group. Why? There’s no definitive answer. What we do know is that historically, even in times of famine or war, only 20% or less of a country’s population leave which is seen as risky behavior.

It is a lie that Momofuku Ando invented instant ramen. The history of instant ramen as presented by Nissin must be questioned. In Taiwan, there was Ke-shi-men (雞絲麵), in which the noodles were fried in oil and then returned to hot water. Before the introduction of Chicken Ramen, Choju-men (長寿麺) was introduced by Cho Kokubun (張國文) and was widely known. Momofuku Ando is a businessman who exploits these things, crushes h…

I always wonder how those products have lactose in them, given that allegedly most East-Asians are lactose-intolerant.

The Cup of Noodles museum in Yokohama was well worth it (get there early if plan to go though, can get very busy).
