hoid without wit he/him Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 (edited) Quote Which world does Hoid enjoy visiting the most? Brandon Sanderson Scadrial almost has instant noodles. So he's very interested in Scadrial. Questioner #2 Is he doing anything to push that along? Brandon Sanderson He is not as involved in that as certain other forces are. Questioner #2 There are forces involved in the developing instant noodles? Brandon Sanderson Yes, oh yes. Shadows of Self Chicago signing (Oct. 12, 2015) so... who is pushing for the creation of instant noodles? I would like to submit... Spoiler KELSIER!!! why? great question! we know that Kelsier likes instant noodles: Quote Sparkle Hearts Kelsier, does he like noodles? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Legion Release Party (Sept. 19, 2018) so CLEARLY he wants them to be made, and this is why Hoid dislikes him so much. they are both competing to get instant noodles first. this is why the ghost bloods were formed, to get enough power to scadrial to power their magical ramen production plants, making the best Ramen in the whole comer.

Quantus he/him Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 I think Taldain is supposed to be the furthest along, so they might be aware of it and pushing it elsewhere. Or anyone Old enough to have been around for Yolen, like all the dragons. Or anyone with enough Fortune and/or Spiritual Future Sight; I have to assume Instant Noodles would shine like a beacon in the SR, as a true Milestone of Civilization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treamayne Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Taldain has had instant noodles for a while, so it's probably Trell that wants them: Spoiler Quote Questioner What's the deal with Hoid and instant noodles? Brandon Sanderson ...He likes his ramen, right? Like any sane person, he likes his instant noodles. Nothing more than that. Questioner ...Has he ever had instant noodles? Brandon Sanderson Yeah, he's had instant noodles before. They have them on Taldain, yeah. Oathbringer release party (Nov. 13, 2017) Or Khriss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to having Doug as a name being a milestone for a species. Someone should really figure out Hoid’s levels of civilization, similar to the 5 levels that we came up with as humans. Obviously peak Doug and Instant Noodles herald an advanced civilization 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoid without wit he/him Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 that should be a score take the percentage of people named Doug versus everyone else in the world then multiply it by the percentage of instant noodles versus the rest of the foods a 100% perfect society has everyone named Doug and only eats ramen .016% of people in our world are named Doug(according to the ten seconds of research I did) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wits instant noodles he/him Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 This theory is perfect no holes or flaws I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinc he/him Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Ok let’s do the math (All of these stats are from a quick google search) The average person eats something like 1500 pounds of food each year. Let’s multiply that by the number of people in the world. That gives us a total of 1500 * 8,100,000,000 equaling 16,167,600,000,000 pounds of food consumed annually in the world. There are approximately 100,000,000,000 packs of ramen produced and eaten each year. If each ramen pack weighs 3 ounces, and there are 16 ounces in a pound, that means that the world consumes 18,750,000,000 pounds of ramen each year. 18,750,000,000 ramen pounds / 16,167,600,000,000 food pounds = 0.011597269 This means that 1.159 percent of all food is ramen noodles. If 0.16 percent of people are named Doug, then our world is a 0.00000185556304 on the Hoid Enlightenment Scale (HES). We’ve got a while to go guys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treamayne Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 11 minutes ago, hoid without wit said: sooo.... not only is this the goal of the ghostbloodsband Hoid, but also of trell? The OP theorized that the Ghostbloods wanted Instant Noodles because Kelsier likes normal noodles. My counter consideration was that it might not be the Ghostbloods pushing for Instant Noodles on Scadrial, it is Trell using Kell's love of noodles to push Taldain Instant Noodles as a mechanism for converting and controlling the Scadrial population through food. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
