It's Not Really One of Those Things You Think of as Being Invented

Vincent DeDomenico, the inventor of Rice-a-Roni, has died.

DeDomenico worked in his family's pasta business when he was inspired in 1958 to create the mix of vermicelli, macaroni and flavorings that millions of Americans came to know by its advertising slogan as "The San Francisco Treat."

Weird, I thought you were known as "The San Francisco Treat".

"The San Francisco Sheep."

Because of my lovely hair, I think.

Ahh, how I pine for the days when San Francisco was known for its cosmopolitan elan, for its cable cars, and for its Rice-a-Roni.

Now, it's know for its radical left-wing politics and its exorbitant housing prices, but most of all, it's known for its rampant homosexuals. Is this really progress?
