    Sometimes these articles with scrolling graphics are done well but this is not one of them. It was more of a distraction trying to read.

    Also this quote was a little strange to me:

    Instant noodle sales have certainly fallen in Japan since the invention’s heyday in the 1970s and 80s, and now occupy around 5% of all global sales. But don’t let that number fool you, Japan is still the world’s third-biggest consumer of instant noodles, after China and Indonesia, with more than 5.5 billion servings being eaten a year.

    It seems to imply that Japan consumes less instant noodles but the data presented just seems to point to the fact that instant noodles have become more popular worldwide, especially in a country like China that has had explosive population growth.
