Wrong! The correct answer is Momofuku Ando.
Momofuku Ando founded Nissin Food Products in 1948 as a small family venture. During World War II, when Japan faced severe food scarcity, Ando realised that cheap and easy-to-make noodles would help to feed the masses. His goal was to create a ramen (noodles) that could be eaten anywhere, anytime.
In 1958, Nissin Foods introduced 'Chicken Ramen', the first instant ramen. Chicken Ramen sold beyond expectations. Over ten companies were keen to introduce their versions in the market. Today, Top Ramen is a name synonymous with noodles.
At 95, Ando, the man who popularised noodles, is in good health. He will, however resign as chairman and representative director at Nissin Food Products on June 29, 2005.

Wrong! The correct answer is Julius Michael.
Maggi is a leading brand from FMCG major Nestle. Julius Michael Johannes Maggi, oldest son of an immigrant Italian and a Swiss national, was the man behind Maggi.
In 1863, he developed a formula to add taste to meals, which later paved the way for Maggi and other easy-to-make food products. Apart from two-minute noodles, Maggi also offers a range of products, like packaged soups, frozen meals, sauces and flavourings.
In 1882, the Swiss Public Welfare Society commissioned Maggi to create a vegetable food product that would be quick to make and help working women cook meals faster. This resulted in two instant pea soups and an instant bean soup, which turned out to be a huge success. Maggi merged with Nestle in 1947.

Wrong! The correct answer is Chinese noodles.
Chinese noodles are called 'dragon beards'. Noodles can be made either by hand or by machine and can be 'cut noodles' or 'dried noodles'. They may be different in width, varying from ribbons to threads. The hand-pulled noodles are unique to China and can be made only by a professional cook.
The whole process of making 'hand-pulled noodles' is magical and entertaining. 'Dragon beards' are also hand-pulled noodles but are extraordinarily fine. It has been calculated that a paste prepared with 1.5 kilograms of wheat flour can make 144,000 hair-thin noodles, each 0.17 metres long -- a total length of 2 kilometres. Initially, 'dragon beards' were simply called 'beards', but since they caught the fancy of an emperor and as the dragon was the symbol of all Chinese emperors, they are now known as 'dragon beards'.
