#33

The inspiration for X came to Momofuku Ando, a Taiwanese immigrant, while he watched people queue up at a black market stall selling hot soup towards the end of World War II. Food was in scarce supply, and Ando decided that "Peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat", which would later on become the motto of his company. He founded this company Y in 1948, and managed to develop the first ever X in 1958. X has evolved to become popular the world over and in 2000, it was voted as the Most Important Invention in a poll conducted in Ando's adopted country. Identify X, Y.

    Y= Nissin Foods

    X = Instant Noodles. "Chikin Ramen" was the world's first ever instant noodles. Cup Noodles came much later in 1971, although even they were a brainchild of Nissin.
