Stars And CEOs Who Didn’t Succeed Until 45+

Momofuku Ando

When you attend college, there is one staple item that everyone can relate to. Here’s a hint: it is warm, delicious and fills your belly at a bargain price. If you guessed ramen noodles, or even cup of noodles, you are correct! Momofuku Ando was a Japanese inventor and businessman who gave the world the gift of instant ramen noodles.

He founded Nissin Food Products Co. which is known as one of the inventors of instant noodles, instant ramen, and Cup Noodles. Ando didn’t create this delicious college staple when he was in college; he cemented his spot in junk-food history when he invented instant noodles at age 48 in 1958.
