Man Who Created Spaghetti O's Has Died

The creator of the childhood favorite Spaghetti O's (and later Cambell's Chunky Soup) passed away on Friday.

From the AP:
Goerke was marketing research director of Campbell's Franco-American line in the early 1960s when his group started dreaming up pasta in shapes that would appeal to kids. He chose the o's. They were marketed with the unforgettable tagline, "Uh-oh, Spaghetti Os."
Later, he helped introduce Chunky Soup, a hearty ready-to-serve soup that stood out from the company's traditional line of condensed soups.
To pay homage, we encourage you to enjoy a can of those wonderful O's (with franks or meatballs, your choice).
