SpaghettiOs, with its perpetually-smiling, gym shoe-wearing, googly-eyed mascots that walk a fine line between friendly brand identity and F.D.A. approved cannibalism-in-a-can, recently encouraged everyone to take a moment to remember the attack on Pearl Harbor with all the inedible dignity and canned patriotism that could only be provided by America’s favorite Cold War era bomb shelter foods and their kid-friendly marketing departments.
Needless to say, it was a date which will live in infamy.
And the internet wins again.
