When I was young we had proper spaghetti, long and with hooks on it. If you remember the Spaghetti Harvest you know what I mean. ... I like long spaghetti, it wraps around your fork nicely. If it was too long for your pot you broke it in half. Now all you get is the short stuff. It is more convenient we are told, saves braking it in half. It's pot sized! But I like long spaghetti and it's now hard to find and when you do, it is expensive so I make do.... Then the other day I was walking around the supermarket and it dawned on me. Short spaghetti has nothing to do with my convenience or it fitting into my pot. The thing it fits into is Supermarket Shelves. It is just the right size to stack across a shelf, a supermarket shelf. Why do we let them do this to us?
