SpaghettiOs is an American brand of canned, spoon-able, sugared spaghetti featuring circular pasta shapes in a cheese and tomato sauce — and marketed to parents as 'less messy' than regular spaghetti. More than 150 million cans of SpaghettiOs are sold each year.[1]
In addition to the original variety, variations have included SpaghettiOs Meatballs (with miniature meatballs), SpaghettiOs Sliced Franks (with pieces of processed meat resembling hot dog slices), SpaghettiOs RavioliOs (with round, beef-filled ravioli), SpaghettiOs with Calcium — and other theme-shaped varieties.
History
Introduced in 1965 by the Campbell Soup Company, the pasta was created by Donald Goerke (1926-2010),[2] "the Daddy-O of SpaghettiOs",[3] after a year-long[3] internal study of the appropriate shape for a kid-friendly spaghetti.[3] Rejected shapes included cowboys, Indians, spacemen, stars, and sports shapes.[2][1] During the development of SpaghettiOs, Georke was a marketing manager with Franco-American, then a division of Campbell. Over the period of his 35 years with Campbell,[4] Goerke created over 100 products[4] including the Chunky line of soups,[1] and in 1995, Goerke participated in the 30th anniversary of SpaghettiOs, appearing on What's My Line? and attending a celebration at a SpaghettiOs plant in Ohio.[4]
SpaghettiOs were introduced nationally without test marketing[4] — with television advertising using tag line The neat new spaghetti you can eat with a spoon and the jingle Uh-Oh! SpaghettiOs, sung by pop singer Jimmie Rodgers.
In June of 2010, Campbell's recalled 15 million pounds of Spaghettios with meatballs—all that had been produced since December 2008 and much of which has likely been consumed—due to a malfunction of a cooker at one of the company's Texas plants.[5]
