What's the deal with spaghetti-o's |
|
Is cooking your own pasta really that hard? Do people like the taste of that tomato-brine?
What gives?

...and shouldn't be judged by that standard, just as frozen pizza is not pizza.
I still love the taste of them O's.

2. Their own ad slogan is negative: 'Uh oh spagettios' |
|
That is like 'uh oh brussel sprouts!'

4. They're Deliberately Bland in Order to Appeal to Small Children |
|
At least that's their intent. Operating on the assumption that children's taste buds aren't fully developed, the makers of canned pasta deliberately keep their sauce very bland. Same thing with the limp dreck they call pasta. It doesn't work in all cases, however. My wife and I didn't buy into that theory and made foods available to our children that weren't 'toned down,' and they came to appreciate good seasoning at an early age. We bought some canned pasta once, just to have some 'convenience' food handy, but it went totally ignored and uneaten.
