Here's an amusing musing on the sayings of Ando, who invented the insta-meal. It's by Andy Raskin, author of the forthcoming book "The Ramen King and I: How the Inventor of Instant Noodles Fixed My Love Life." (I didn't make that up, though I think I liked its original title better.)

He's not the first person to be inspired.
