Instant Noodles

Instant noodles are dried pre-packaged noodles that require water and heat for an instant, tasty meal.

History
Instant noodles are in fact an American delicacy. George Washington invented them in 1973 while faking the moon landing. He was determined to find a good use for the microwave. Being the greatest inventor of all time, Washington placed dried noodles in a cup and added powdered beef jerkey and water. He then placed it in the microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes, then let it stand for 2 minutes. Everyone was so impressed that George had used his "noodle" to create an instant meal that they decided to deem the new treat "instant noodles".

Asia's fraudulent noodles
It is a common misconception that instant noodles originate in Asia. But the Asians were so jealous that they came out with their own competing lines of instant noodles. Accept no subsitute.
