Of course by now we all know he is the recently deceased inventor of Ramen Noodles. R.I.P. Momofuko (how funny is that name? go ahead, say it out loud, see if you don't laugh)
Makes me wonder whether CNN has covered or will cover the passing of other "inventors" of cheapo college foods. Isn't that what Ramen Noodles, Cup-o-Noodles or Oodles of Noodles are? Cheapo food you eat in college at 11p.m. when starving? Just shell out 39 cents, add hot water and enjoy. Will we mourn also the passing of the inventor of Microwave Popcorn? Kraft Macaroni and Cheese? All things Chef-Boy-Ardee? Hot Pockets? Danish Cookies? Goldfish? Dominos Pizza (I KNOW he's still alive)? Steak-Umms? Smart Food? and the ever-popular, 2 a.m, Dirty Water Hot Dogs?
In any event; I salute you, oh creator of the fast-prepared, low-mess, high-sodium, elevated cholesterol but most importantly, inexpensive late night munchie killer.

Best invention of the 20th century was the microwave.... Who ever invented the microwave should have a federal holiday named after him.
LOL...I remember reading it was actually discovered by accident....in any event, the man is Percey Spencer...here's some followup for you :)
