Instant Noodles
The inventor just wanted to feed his people. Ends up feeding entire generations of poor students around world. Why has this man not been given the Nobel Prize?

@@louisaugustexvi4515 well America has bombed thousands of civilians in the middle east, so i guess that justifies people dying of starvation and homelessness back home
No clue, but he has a museum in Japan built to showcase the history of cup noodle.

In fact, Momofuku Ando was actually born in Chiayi, Taiwan and grew up in Tainan, Taiwan. It was after the world war when Japan lost its territory and colony (Taiwan) that many people were forced to choose their nationalities between the Republic of China and Japan. Ando chose the former in order to keep his ancestral properties in Taiwan (since all Japanese nationals had to forfeit their properties in Taiwan). However, Ando remained in Japan. It was not until 1966 that he gained Japanese nationality by adopting his wife's Japanese family name, Ando. As a Taiwanese, I'm very grateful for what this Taiwanese-Japanese has contributed to the world and created instant noodles for us to enjoy when some of us are in need of food or when some of us are trying to save more money...lol. He passed away at the age of 96 back in 2007. However, his legacy and creation is and will always be loved by all of us around the world!!! RIP
Doesn't Taiwan make the best ramen of all time?
there's a kids book about him too, very cute :) , but I don't think they mentioned him from Taiwan either -__-

I think it's a thing in America, although it doesn't make sense, just add boiling water lol
SwoleRadroach yeah but the lazy American thing is using the microwave to boil the water 😂
@@Hollowhalf17 The thing is, I heard Americans don't have electric kettles like most of the world do as they have little need for them, so they would have to biil water on the stove first which is a bit long for cup noodles lol
SwoleRadroach While we definitely don’t have electric kettles to the degree the rest of the world does, I know a few people who DO have them, but they still rarely use them. I also know some people that don’t see the need for them because they’ll use their coffee maker to heat the water up instead. Me? I just boil some damn water in a normal kettle. I don’t eat ramen enough to worry about how long it takes for the water. 😂

So nowadays do we still have a cast in a spray bottle, or not because it got turned to silly string?

Man, I could watch videos like this for hours. It’s fascinating how, what we deem as huge and sometimes intimidating product success, always started off as a simple fix to recognized problem, and in some cases, just being ornery.

This UA-cam channel is literally everything I've been looking for on TV that they don't air anymore.
Ramen wasn’t made for hungry 20 year olds
Describes how it was made for a nation of hungry 20 year olds
Blow Me if damn everyone was 20 ?
yeah, the video ignores the fact that we have a massive hunger crisis in america. students have to choose between getting an education that the government has deemed a necessity, or being able to feed themselves. the broke college student isn’t a myth
Ria shutup
+5567 5555
ria is specifically commenting about a line in the video that was about 20 year olds that are specifically non-japanese. you could argue that they didn't specify american 20 year olds in the video, but american-centric language being present in most media americans consume combined with the speakers accent makes it a pretty understandable assumption
though even if they didn't assume that the speaker was specifically targeting american young adults ria could have just been bringing up a personal example that contradicts the foundation of the joke
so I guess, my question then is why did ria's comment upset you?
h...hmmm.

One of the possible histories of ring donuts is about a kid who punched his finger through the hole-less donut.
Instant noodles were invented as alternative response to shortage of national staple food following their loss in WWII.

get real no college student buys the styrofoam cup o noodles, too expensive. we get the 12 pack of block ramen!
Can you get a pack of 4 Cup o Noodles for 75 cents where u from? Im in central Wisconsin.
@Billy Bob Where? Dollar stores sell (specifically) Cup O Noodles 3 for a dollar. A Scratch n Dent store nearby me sells 4 for 75 cents.
Anf probably eat it dry as a snack. Tastes great, dry or recooked regardless. Also, I'm not in college, I just enjoy eating food.
Making food from scratch is cheaper in the long run but living in dorm probably messes with your budget. Then again, college in the U.S. isn't among the best.
In the Philippines, a 6 pack of ramen can cost 90 cents.
But a 6 pack of cup noodles can cost over 3 times as much.

@@MX-fk7qj If you microwave it, the toxins of the styrofoam seep into the noodles and broth. Also on the instructions of the cup o noodles, it doesn't say anywhere on the cup that you have the option to microwave it. It's better to microwave the water seperately in a microwave safe cup and then pour it into the noodles.

These are great small stories
0:57 man i love how you’re frying on foil
Although that last segment on the potato chip might well be true, there is another, interesting take on the potato chip..
In 1840, in the little town of Cleethorpes in the north of England, a family of fishermen used to set up a mobile wagon on the seafront selling fish and chips.
The owner of the wagon used to have a mechanical chipper in which he turned a handle to produce the chips ready to deep fry to go with the fish.
On one particular day, he had set the blades rather too closely together, and ended up producing a whole load of what he considered to be a waste of potatoes. But rather than throw them away, he deep-fried them anyway, and the resultant crispy fried potato pieces, he found interesting.
So he sprinkled some salt over them, packed them into paper bags and sold them to patrons to eat whilst sitting on the seafront. They promptly sold out. Prompting him to produce some more. Realising he was onto a good thing, he bought another chipper and opened a second wagon which sold nothing but these crispy snacks.
A passing salesman, who would go on to start his own potato chip producing mini factory turned them into a popular resort snack across the North east coast of England. He was swiftly brought out by another, and that is where the legend, and the history, dies as far as documentation is concerned. This story can be found in a diary in a little museum of bric-a-brac in Cleethorpes.
Where it goes from there, is not exactly known, but by 1860, there were over 200 companies in the UK making ready salted crisps. This had grown to over 800 by the late 19th Century - throughout the entire UK.
Whether this fishing family got any recognition from the production factories that would go on to produce them, is not exactly known or recorded, but it would be a shame if this not the case.
As for the Invention of the potato chip, in commercial circles, the Saratoga incident, is the only one officially recorded - so it's the only one that we can go by.
Tasty treat tho. And rather addictive if I do say so myself.
While I'm at it, what is everyone's favourite flavour potato chip?
Let me know in your replies!
either classic w/ salt, or hickory bbq
Ruffles "all seasoned"
I don't know if you typed all this but I think you're good at telling (or writing) stories, lol (although maybe using a few too many commas?)
I usually end up liking the Sour Cream & Onions flavour of most chips I've tried. The only tomato one I favour is Toki (a Japanese brand I think, but is readily available here in Malaysia). Possibly the best one I've had was "Perfecto" Sour Cream & Chives, with actual herbs (I think) on the chips. It's honestly one of the only snacks I've felt addicted to in over 10 years (not sure if a good or bad sign :/)
You can only get them here in Canada but Ketchup chips. They are so good!
Black pepper flavored
And nice story btw
