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

$13 per jar? Fuck all the way off.
It is a momento to collect, like a concert tshirt or your first condom.
I'm sorry what
You don't like old gum?
They said "It is a momento to collect, like a concert tshirt".
Look at this guy who doesn't buy merch...
😬
this would honestly make more sense if it was just a labelled empty jar, but when they put actual sauce in it stops being a novelty item and starts being food, and 13 bucks for a jar of sauce is hilarious
So then you are really just paying for the label?
Of course, just like most branded goods.
Now I wonder where my forst condom ended up. Certainly I didn't use it.
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.
^ There’s vomit on his sweater already
^ Mom's Spaghetti
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.
He's gotta make up for all the money he lost on NFTs.
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?
...you don't like extra cancer spice in your sauce?
And some crushed vicodin sprinkled on the top
More likely to just be Ragu... With some cigarette ash mixed in.
This has been quite an exciting past few years in pasta
Well then. Neat.
I love this! I wonder what all the fuss is about. I'll have to try some.
Well, if it sold out within hours, I doubt anyone bought it for the taste...
Imagine going up to Eminem and saying, "I had Yo Mama's spaghetti!" Twenty years ago, you wouldn't have had a jaw afterwards.
Cuz it had dropped to the floor from a scathing limerick possibly involving a sweater?
Jaws all on the floor like Pam, like Tommy just burst in the door?
Guaranteed to make to vomit on your sweater.
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.
