Scotto poll... Ramen. It was bound to happen

There are many types of ramen designed for fast, convenient preparation. All contain the same basic ingredients: flour, water, salt, dough conditioner, and seasonings/spices.

Nissin Chicken Ramen was considered to be the first fast cook (instant) ramen in the world. Nissin's Top Ramen brand was introduced in the U.S. in 1972. For many years, this product was known as "Oodles of Noodles" in the Eastern U.S. Due to it's popularity, "Oodles of Noodles" was reintroduced throughout the United States in 2000.

[Poll #989]

Much more information can be gleaned from http://www.nissinfoods.com/ , the makers of top ramen.
