It’s pronounced VEG-GETTI…
“AS SEEN ON TV!! IT’S THE VAGGETTI!!!”
David does a double take. “Beg your pardon?”
“Oh, wait… That’s VEG-getti.”
“And that’s better because…?”
“You stick vegetables in and out comes ‘pasta’.”
“Vegetable pasta?” David shudders.
“I was going to mock this mercilessly, but looking at it now, I would totally use it. Plus then we’d have a Veggetti. Think of the dinner conversations and tittering mis-pronounciations.”
“Very true.”
…later…
“What is that?” asks Rissa.
“It’s a Veggetti…”
“It’s a what now??”
“See?” I turn to David brandishing the packaging. “Told you.” I turn back to Rissa. “It makes vegetable pasta. Stick a zuccini in and out comes zucchini pasta!” I demonstrate. “Oooh, these blades are super sharp!”
“Yeah, don’t be shoving your fingers in the VEGGETTI…” smirks David.
Rissa gives an epic eye roll. “You two are 9 year old boys.”
