American ingenuity does it again.
Breaking pasta has always been a sore spot for Italians, even though pasta doesn't fit in the pot, likely because of the time when Mussolini impletemented an exploitative per-noodle state tax on pastas, causing the good citizens of Italy to buy longer pasta but still show their patriotism by working around it rather than breaking it (which would make it more noodles than paid for, and thus contraband).
To heal this cultural scar but allow the people of earth to cook pasta practically again, Walmart corporation has innovated the Half Length Spaghetti. Now Italians all over the world and all those who admire and respect their kinda gay, bro culture can discreetly or proudly practice practical yet patriotic pasta cooking.
Thank you, Sam Walmart.
