Too bad old names like Franco American (now Campbell's), Lincoln Snacks' Poppycock (now Orville Reddenbacher) and General Foods International Coffee (now Maxwell House) keep going away.

Is the little boy at 0:16 Adam Rich? The future Nicholas from Eight Is Enough?

[heine71]

@Sheri451 I can't tell...

[Sheri451]

@heine71 Thank You for trying to identify him.

[heine71]

@Sheri451 Well, if only the adult aged Adam Rich saw this on YouTube...

[Sheri451]

@heine71 Yes then if it was him he could confirm it. BTW, did he ever get out of trouble? I remember he was always getting into trouble and the late Dick VanPatten was always bailing him out.

[fromthesidelines]

At the time, Campbell' Soup's "Franco-American" division marketed "SpaghettiO's". These days, Campbell's puts it out under their own name...

[TheJimmyT1000]

the greatest invention since the napkin? Seriously??

[heine71]

@TheJimmyT1000 Yes!

[pictureisup1]

@TheJimmyT1000 you need a napkin to eat it. Especially, eating it on a merry go round

[BeantownJim]

they had real meat back then!

[heine71]

@BeantownJim In the meatballs and franks, that is.

[manco82]

Canned pasta is nasty, but it was good when I was a kid!

[heine71]

@manco82 You can still get canned pasta including Spaghetti-O's today.

[mrnatedog1111]

@heine71 I'm eating Spaghetti O's right now! It's Meatballs with Shapes from the movie Cars!

[DralionROBLOX]

@mrnatedog1111 REALLY?! I'M SO JEALOUS >:O

[aknowneemus]

beefaroni is off the chain! i love that stuff and it's cheap.

No "pinky raisers" in our house.

[heine71]

@aknowneemus What do you mean by "oinky raisers"?

[aknowneemus]

@heine71 not "oinky" but "pinky" as in "people who raise their Pinky when they drink or eat to give the impression that they are high class" got it?

[heine71]

@aknowneemus SORRY...

[heine71]

@heine71 OOPS!

[usernamevidio]

I never did like this kind of "canned pasta" stuff when I was a kid. Either my mom was too good of a cook, or I was a born foodie, but spaghetti or ravioli in a can made me want to barf. My own kids have no idea this stuff even exists!

[maddogwrestlingfan]

ate enough of O's when I was youngster. I was 12 when this was filmed.

[CoverSongsUnited]

I don't eat much, I have an eating problem. But I always eat them, they are the only thing I will eat. Not exagerating!

[heine71]

@CoverSongsUnited Cut down on eating then!

[heine71]

@CoverSongsUnited Cut down on eating!

[zombiefreakCOD]

NOM NOM NOM YYYYUUUUMMMYYY!!!!!

[Budskrag]

With my last name being Franco. I grew up with people singing, "Franco American, Uh Oh Spaghetti-Oh! It used to bug me but not at all now! ha

[tranurse]

i hate spaghetti-o's.

[TheBlueblackFairy]

Uh Oh Spaghetti-O I remember saying that saying when I was a kid.

[heine71]

@TheBlueblackFairy And it's the greatest invention since the napkin!

[Lyreecs]

who would eat on a merry-go-round lol

[heine71]

@Lyreecs It's just a commercial!

[metemi]

I remember trying this as a kid and I almost threw up, it's AWFUL lol

[heine71]

@metemi It doesn't taste awful...

[SongsJerome]

They are OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOsome!

[heine71]

@SongsJerome OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, as Homer from the Simpsons would say!

[SongsJerome]

@heine71 Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa, as Phyllis Diller would say.
