What???

The late inventor of instant noodles was symbolically blasted off into space at a funeral ceremony attended by thousands in Osaka, western Japan.

The event was a tribute to Momofuku Ando's creation of Space Ram, a noodle soup that works at zero gravity....

Delivering a eulogy, ex-prime minister Yasuhiro Nakasone said: "He was the creator of a culinary culture that post-war Japan can be proud of."

A zero-gravity soup? That's got to be a joke, right? I mean, I might be impressed if it worked underwater or something. Maybe. But zero gravity? Gimme a break.
