Mivina. I was very excited to tell my US friends about The Very Ukrainian product they've all been missing out on (with a very Ukrainian brand name).
Until my grad school friend told me that it literally means Noodles From Vietnam in Vietnamese.
Turns out, Mivina was indeed created in Ukraine — and made its creator the richest person in Vietnam [1][2].
Deservedly so, I say.
