    I feel like there’s a certain irony in someone who grew up poor, likely eating the cheapest tomato sauce available, selling $13 jars of tomato sauce to the very place he grew up in

    No surprise. This isn’t food, it’s a cool thing to put on your nerd shelf. If this was at your local grocery store at the same price as the store brand no one would give a shit.

      I hope they dump out the sauce and wash the jar. I don’t want to think of 10-year-old jars of sauce with the lid popped up showing obvious pathogens on the inside sitting on people’s shelves as collector’s items.

      If this was in a store at the same price as normal sauce I’d definitely buy it because my partners a huge fan and that way I could get some and it’d be a reasonable price for the nerd shelf.

        “as the store brand” meaning, if it were the same exact item with no branding, you wouldn’t give a shit

        I’d also be willing to bet it’s actually really great sauce.

      I haven’t watched cable in years. I was at a hotel once flipping through the channels and I came across the Vh1 music awards. Eminem and some other dude did a while music video showcasing board apes. It was super cringe. It’s one thing to sell out. I expect every celebrity to leverage their name for a little money. It’s a completely different story to try and promote a failed pyramid scheme.

    Why do I feel like this would just be a jar of unseasoned tomato paste with some cigarette ash mixed in?

    Imagine going up to Eminem and saying, “I had Yo Mama’s spaghetti!” Twenty years ago, you wouldn’t have had a jaw afterwards.

    Mom’s Spaghetti Pasta Sauce is sold in 25-ounce jars for $13 each or two for $25.“We developed this sauce, Mom’s spaghetti and the Sghetti sandwich,” Catallo of Union Joints said. “We started having fun with it and seeing where it will take us ever since.”

    Sghetti sandwich. Sghetti wrestling? Someone tell James Cameron that we need to raid the bar.

    Also, I clearly should have become a white rapper so I could sell bullshit for hundreds of times markup to dolts.
