"The funeral included speeches by prime ministers and chanting by the monks, but there were also goodie bags. Each attendee received a five pack of Chikin Ramen, a container of Cup Noodles, and a book of Ando's famous sayings. I happened to be struggling over whether to begin a career as a writer. Then I read the first saying in the book: 'I invented instant ramen when I was 48 and Cup Noodles at 61. In life, there is no such thing as too late.'"
Andy Raskin on NPR notes the fiftieth anniversary of instant ramen.
