Campbell Soup Co. is recalling nearly15 million pounds of canned "SpaghettiOs with Meatballs" because of possible under-processing, the U.S. agriculture department said.Fifteen million pounds of food. Boy, if there were only a government agency that could monitor something with the potential to widely affect millions of Americans who...you know, eat food. Peanut butter, tomatoes, spinach, now Spaghetti-Os...what's it going to take, folks?
The recall includes 14.75-ounce cans with a use-by date between June 2010 and December 2011 of three varieties of the product: "SpaghettiOs with Meatballs," "SpaghettiOs A to Z with Meatballs" and "SpaghettiOs Fun Shapes with Meatballs (Cars)."
Consumers who have purchased those products with a plant code of "EST4K" should not eat them and should return them to the store where they were purchased for an exchange or full refund, Campbell Soup said.

Insert Your Own "Uh-Oh!" Joke Here
Uh-oh! Spaghetti-Os...
This is clearly just the Caponebamalinsky administration's attempt to shake down Campbell's Soup to pay for its mad schemes to convert the U.S. to socialism.
ReplyDeleteThe Founding Fathers ate undercooked meat, got trichinosis, salmonella, and streptococcus all the time, and died, like manly men, like God intended! The FDA is a hostile jackbooted big-government thug agency, trying to deprive us of our God-given rights to do with our gastro-intestinal tracts as we please! Plus, the free market will fix this problem better than any inept, corrupt, bungling bureaucrats ever could. Keep Big Brother out of my soup!
ReplyDelete*observes watch*
omg accidents happen!
ReplyDeletemoar government
wow. what a pathetic fucking moron you are.
ReplyDelete@t-man: No, we're nicer to Waffles around these parts. He's not the "death of fun" trolls Z gets around here, Waffles is actually a fun-time party contrarian. Observe.
ReplyDelete*clicks watch* Ten hours? I used to get trolls on the line much faster than that. Hmph, I've got to up my blogwarrin' presence, I must be losing my edge with all of my downtime.
@Waffles: OH HAI! I'z back to play! Yuppers, 15 million pounds of food, that sure is an oopsie! Well, I'm sure it won't happen again. I mean, after the 3 other times there have been massive, preventable contaminations in the last 4 years, the industry will pay a little closer attention to safety. They'll probably stop picking stuff up off the floor after the 5 second rule, and everything!
We don't want more government in this case, anyway. It'd just be nice if the government we had could start doing it's freaking job again.
i wish i could find him as amusing as you do. maybe i'll just post (barfs) after i read his glibertarian tripe from now on.
ReplyDelete@t-man:
ReplyDeleteNow, now, chin up, man! Everything sucking is no reason to lose your sense of humor. If you can't spar pithily with people that have some cognition and a fractional funny bone, who can you spar with? Humor, man, humor. That is the primary weapon of the Liberal Inquisition. And being right all the time. Two weapons! These are the two primary weapons of the Liberal Inquisition. And smugness. Three! etc.
y'know, if he had a sense of humor like you guys (ie: could poke fun at himself as well as at us "hypocritical" libs), i might enjoy goofing with him. his idea of funny is pointing out what howling douchbags libs are. and there's a big ol' period at the end of that sentence because that's exactly where it ends. anyhoo, i get the point. my gibes are fairly nasty in intent and they're not in tune with the general atmosphere of the blog, so i'll knock it off or at least dial it back a notch or three (suppresses intense urge to barf).
ReplyDeletehave a good weekend.
Don't dial it back too far, t-man. Howling douchebaggery must be pointed out, in all its vile forms. There are plenty of worthless trolls on this site, but I give Waffles an ounce of credit because he and I perceive the same sky as being the color blue. And, when you're sparring with him instead of berating him, he's actually capable of being funny. Please, feel free to righteously berate any other troll as the punk-ass douchenozzle that they so richly are.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good weekend, too.
aww Lowkey you do care! <3
ReplyDeletebtw its 10 sec rule
Fun-time party contrarians are hard to come by, Waffles. I'm happy to FAIL! and be FAIL!ed with you any old time.
ReplyDeleteKumbayah, my Lord, kuuumbayaaahh...
