Instead of a cremation, will they just fill the coffin with boiling water and wait 4minutes?

Serves the bugger right! I was sick for two days after last time having one of his dried-hell-in-a-plastic-bin things. :evil:

Edit: First of all he will be mummyfied by freeze drying. The kettle with the hor water comes along on the youngest day!

Ah, Pot Noodle must have nicked the idea off of him, that's why the authentic "oriental" version's i've tried are far, far tastier and actually look, taste and smell like [insert variant] noodle soup.

*Note* the use of polystyrene container's, not Pot Noodle's use of plastic ones!

Pot Noodle's kick ass! Even moreso if you don't add any water, just eat the dried brain-shaped bit. :notworthy:

His firm also developed a version of Cup Noodle for Japanese astronauts to eat on the space shuttle Discovery in 2005.
It went into space - there can be no higher accolade.

:notworthy:

Cheers Mr. Ando-san.

When I first read the thread title I thought, "well, it had to happen sooner or later, he had it coming..."

I ate one of his foul creations once. Suffice it to say I'd rather eat crumbled cardboard with hot water, just for a good taste...:urff:

And just out of curiosity...

Did he choke to death?

IZ.

Read it, and agreed with it.

These bloody heathens think instant noodles started with Golden Wonder and ended with Batchelor's Supernoodles.

Visit your local Chinese grocery, people - you'll find hundreds of varieties of MSG-laced noodley goodness, and will never look back.

misery soup, here, because the first time we had it was in a restaurant playing extremely depressing muzak.

I've never had a pot noodle.

I also think I have some sort of intolerance to MSG. (Obviously not the natural stuff as glutamate is one of the amino acids in all protein; but the artificial stuff is chemically different -- a racemic mixture as opposed to one stereoisomer for the chemists around.)

A lot of folk do. I'll let it slip through occasionally but generally I do tend to avoid it. E621 be the devil's work.

"Slip through" is exactly the problem... :urff:

Too much information?

If it gets that far. :roll:
At occasions it doesn´t even make it to the stomach.. :urff:
It´s a good diet food though: After having one tiny pot of instant noodles you may not be able to eat other food for days..
