OK, Shit Just Got Real! -- Ronzoni's Star-Shaped Pastina Has Been Discontinued.

The news, when it was announced in late December, was both dire and definitive: Ronzoni had discontinued its signature pastina, product No. 155. Fans all over social media — many of them Gen Xers who were raised on the tiny pasta shape and fed it to Gen Z children, just like their postwar elders did for their families — were outraged.

Ronzoni says it’s listening. That it hears us. That this “wasn’t a decision we wanted to make.” But its explanation for the discontinuation (more on that later) didn’t help matters. Pastina, as noted by Bon Appétit magazine, is “2023’s devastating first food casualty.”

Today I found out that Ronzoni is discontinuing their pastina and, frankly, they should go to jail for this.

1. Never had those

As a boomer I grew up on elbow pasta … never understood why they didn’t offer other body part pasta … knees, ankle, wrist … why even a good neck bone pasta would have spiced up plenty of kid’s spaghetti experiences
