You Have Been Eating Spaghetti Wrong Your Whole Life

In 1942, Life magazine came up with the official rules for eating spaghetti and we haven't gotten it right since. No cutting, no hands, no shoveling. See the right way to do it.

The Right Way to Eat Spaghetti

1. Use your fork to separate out exactly FOUR strands.

2. Gently and politely twirl them against a spoon.

3. Eat the entire forkful at once, don't nibble it or take bites.

4. Do feel free to slurp up the noodles as necessary.

Take a look at the photos the 1942 article used to demonstrate.
