Spaghetti: Justify its existence.

[Perfection]

I have a question, a question about spaghetti, specifically about the existence of spaghetti.

Facts:
1. Spaghetti doesn't easily fit into pots
2. Even when you do the stupid fork twirl think or cut it with the side of your fork there's always one loose strand that gets out of place and hits the corner of your mouth making you look like an idiot.
3. Spaghetti sucks at picking up sauces
4. There are plenty of pasta shapes that are far better in the above categories.

And so:

Why the poop does spaghetti exist?

 

[Moss]

It's easier and cheaper to mass manufacture/produce than more creatively shaped noodles??

 

[Nylan]

Ask The Great FSM. I'm pretty sure he can give you a decent answer. You are, however, correct on all points.

I'm a tortellini guy.

It's an even bigger conundrum when you're in a Chinese food restaurant, and you have to eat noodles with a couple of sticks...

Spoiler :

You dare question his noodley appendages?

For the sole purpose of pissing you off.

I don't like spaghetti at all, I always get other kinds

 

[Mad Man]

I favor Ziti myself.

Why the poop does spaghetti exist?

I dunno. I hate it.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Why the poop does spaghetti exist?

Because linguine is too wide.

 

[Aramazd]

Spaghetti is awesome, though linguine is superior.

1. Spaghetti doesn't easily fit into pots

Until it turns limp.

2. Even when you do the stupid fork twirl think or cut it with the side of your fork there's always one loose strand that gets out of place and hits the corner of your mouth making you look like an idiot.

Take less strands at a time.

3. Spaghetti sucks at picking up sauces

I prefer this, too much sauce is a bad thing.

Angel hair pasta is empirical evidence that spaghetti is god.

Using big words doesn't make your statement true.

What's up with the blob of pasta with eyes?

 

[Oerdin]

If you cook the pasta right then the sauce will stick to it. The big problem is most people boil the hell out of it, use pasta made from the wrong type of wheat, and don't put any salt in the water then wonder why their spaghetti sucks. Personally, I'd rather have some fresh home made gnocchi with just a simple browned butter & thyme sauce but people seem to screw that up too.

What's up with the blob of pasta with eyes?

How does it feel to be on the other side of that argument?

It's the Flying Spaghetti Monster! All true Pastafarians believe he created the universe with his noodly appendages!

@Oerdin: Somebody knows his Italian. Also, don't rinse the pasta after you cook it! The starch is there to pick up the sauce! If you rinse the starch off, then you don't get any sauce and it's all watery! And that is the definition of "epic fail".

Wait..what?

 

[LightFang]

It tastes good!

Wait..what?

Can you feel the empathy?

It showed up on the Internet years ago, I think as a response to the pro-creationist advocates in education. People wanted all the opinions taught in the classroom: 1/3 evolution, 1/3 creationism, and 1/3 pastafarianism. After all, the kids have a right to know.

Look him up on Wiki. They also have a link to the official website.
