Did you know SpaghettiO's had a controversy?

I wouldn't have either - but for some unknown reason - had a dream about SpaghettiO's and can't stop getting "Uh-oh SpaghettiO's" out of my head.

Looked it up. Introduced in 1965

From Wiki...
On December 7, 2013, the 72nd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, SpaghettiOs' Twitter account posted a picture of a smiling cartoon SpaghettiO holding a United States flag, captioned "Take a moment to remember #PearlHarbor with us." The posting was met with criticism by users, who found the tweet to be disrespectful to those who were affected by the attack.

But I do think it's a silly juxtaposition.

Kind of like "Remember the Alamo! And Hostess' Ding Dongs!"
