I just ate some tortellini. It’s an awesome pasta. I was in my 30’s before I realized it even existed.
Walk into any of the larger grocery stores and you’ll find an entire alley full of pasta. Dozens of different brands, shapes, sizes, and names.
Back when I was a kid, we only had three kinds of pasta: Spaghetti, Rigatoni, and Ravioli. Ravioli came in a can. A friend avers that he also has spaghetti-o’s; he was in a whole ‘nuther tax bracket.
Oddly the exact same thing happened with dinosaurs. When I was in elementary school, we only had three dinosaurs: T-Rex, Brontosaurus, and Stegosaurus.
The Brontosaurus apparently got fired from the dinosaur kingdom (just like Pluto is no longer a planet), because you NEVER hear about them anymore. But, kids today come home with books filled with dozens upon dozens of dinosaurs.
So, ice sheets are shrinking, but pasta and dinosaurs are increasing at an alarming rate.
