Didn't realize they were so healthy...

BBC News reports that Momofuku Ando, the Taiwan-born Japanese inventor of instant noodles and founder of Nissin Food Products, has died at the ripe old age of 96. Notable is the fact that, according to the BBC, Ando "often ate his company's instant noodles." Guess Nissin really produces "long-life noodles"...

I give thanks for his noodles. I have eaten many in my lifetime, though I usually only use half the packet of seasoning. I am known for my ability to turn a package of noodles into a rounded meal in mere seconds.

Well, that full packet of seasoning is probably what let Ando live to 96... ;)

(Personally, I've never cared for instant noodles. I'm more a Chef Boyardee kind of guy...)
