Farewell, Mr. SpaghettiOs

Pour a can of SpaghettiOs out for its creator Donald Goerke who passed away on Sunday from heart failure. Donald was 83. And now you can let out an "UH OH" if you haven't already.

Donald was not only responsible for creating the iconic blood cell soup enjoyed by chirruns, drunks and college students everywhere, but he also helped produce Campbell's Chunky Soup. Donald retired from Campbell in 1990 after devoting 35 years to the company.

Once I finish eating my first dinner of cupcakes in honor of STAINS, I will eat a second dinner of SpaghettiOs casserole in honor of Donny G. It's going to be a night.

R.I.P. Mr. SpaghettiOs

OMG...so THIS is why I had a weird craving for SpaghettiOs on Monday!

RIP, SpaghettiOs man.

ETA: Yes, I bought some (the ones with meatballs) and they were not as good as I remembered...I loved that shit as a kid.

I hate Spaghettios, I really do. They taste like tangy ketchup.
But RIP, Spaghettios guy.

Are you trying to say STAINS DIED???? Or, are you using this venue to celebrate Stains win in the 1st round???? I'm confused.....

Aw man, I looooved Spaghetti o's! R.I.P.

I used to eat them suckers all the time, when I was living alone and on a small budget. I might just have to eat a can, in his honor.

RIP, Mr. SpaghettiOs. :(

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God damn! Spaghetti O's with Franks is my "My life is over - I need comforting" comfort food!!

Mr Goerke should be enshrined in golden Spaghetti O's!! Godspeed, Sir .. and thank you for your contribution to sating my sadness with yummy goodness!

SpiceDong's picture

Sadly Spaghetti O's never really did it for me.
Overstuffed raviolis is what i go for if i want pasta from a can. to this day, no matter how good the italian restaurant, their raviolis never taste as good as Chef Boy-r-dee's to me.

Spaghetti-Os with crushed crackers on top.
Now that's white trash eatin' at its finest.

I also like Chunky Soup. The grill marks on the meat look like tic-tac-toe.

Campbell Soup better be thankful to this peepaw.

Have Fair Winds and Following Seas Mr. Goerke.

I wonder if the cast of Jersey Shore have had 'em. "You are hereby excluded from SpaghettiO night!" sounds blasphemous!

Lol! You know those HORZ love their damn SpaghettiO Night!!! Not to be confused with Ravioli night!

Awwwww...I just bought 3 cans of the Meatball Skettios at the grocery store not an hour ago...I salute you Mr. Goerke, you've kept me alive for years with your tasty treat...

madam s.'s picture

No Words,

I totally agree... they are just so nasty but yet suspiciously, irresistibly tasty. Every couple of years I find myself turn into a white trash zombie and without any ability to stop myself, buy a can and eat it. It's never quite as good as I remember either, but still the pattern continues.

Omg. I was totally obsessed w/ spaghettiO's as a kid. I brought them to school everyday in a Care Bears thermos. I also brought them to friends' houses so I could eat them while I was playing there, too. LOL.

Sadness!
My mom used to make the meatball kind for my niece and I (she's 3 yrs younger) and we would literally fight over the meatballs and Mom had to make sure we each got the same amount.
I still have my Spaghettios spoon (I guess you saved up labels to get it) it's tarnished, just like my soul.

I was one of those fascist parents who refused to buy Spaghettios and then when I finally FINALLY tasted some at a friend's house, I bought it by the case for a couple of months of debauchery. Total crap but strangely tasty.

RIP Mr. Goerke

Momus the Sarcastic's picture

He prolly died of shock when he found out that Campbell's was reducing the sugar and salt in Spaghettios in order to make them more healthy.

Fucking idiots. Spaghettios were never meant to be healthy.
