Uh-oh, SpaghettiOs Inventor Dies

The Campbell Soup Co. executive who was behind the enduring brands SpaghettiOs and Chunky Soup has died. His name was Donald Goerke and he was 83.

OK, I know that SpaghettiOs are almost completely void of nutrition and the flavor is next to awful, but as a child, I loved SpaghettiOs. Almost every Saturday, my dad would make us the same basic lunch. It consisted of either SpaghettiOs or Cream of Tomato and a sandwich. I always lobbied for SpaghettiOs. I have fond memories of this food product. And besides, who didn’t love the jingle “Uh-oh, SpaghettiOs!”

Anyway, just thought I would mention the passing the man who made my Saturday’s fun.
