    Look how young the children were when they would send them deep into the pasta mines. Back then, they didn’t even use proper ventilation. They would frequently end up with gluten lung.

      Spaghetti isn’t mined in the pasta mines, you moron. It grows on spaghetti trees.

          I, too, wish to know where I can purchase a spaghetti bush.

            could you genetically engineer one?

              They already have! You think cheap pasta is through efficiency and child labor! It’s GMO and overfertilized crap.

              I remember grandpa chasing me with a switch because I left ripe pasta I couldn’t reach, but man was it tasty. Not like this new plastic-y crap. Why does it stick? It used to never stick before!

        I always wonder about drying food in a place full of airborne pollution, dust, etc.

      Clearly this is from the pasta mines. They needed child labour to extract from the tight spaces where the rich veins were under Italy.

    I bet that’s some bomb pasta. Ya gotta carry it through the hills of Italy to really get the flavor.

      Most likely they’re going door to door selling the pasta.

        In assuming they are drying the pasta after running them over automobiles to wash them.
