Instant noodles

As you know the instant noodles packaged in a cup are already seen all over the world.
But do you know the history of these products?
Instant noodles were invented in 1958 by Momofuku Ando, the Taiwanese-born founder of the Japanese food company Nissin.
He used Chikin Ramen (Chicken Ramen) as the first instant ramen noodles.
In 1970, Nissin formed the subsidiary Nissin Foods (USA) Co. Inc, to sell instant noodles to the United States.
Nissin recognized that the bowls traditionally used to package instant noodles were not common in the U.S, so they instead turned to the paper cup; in 1971, they introduced instant ramen packaged in a styrofoam cup.
Nissin subsequently introduced this to Japan.
