SpaghettiOs is an American brand of canned ring-shaped pasta in tomato sauce introduced in 1965 by the Campbell Soup Company under the Franco-American brand. They partnered with Hanna-Barbera twice in 1996 and 1998 for The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, respectively.
Promotions
The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest
- SpaghettiOs sold six holographic cards featuring the characters from the TV series. They were "blind" cans, found between the label and the can, and if you were trying to collect six, it was only by random chance that you would be able to find them all.
Scooby-Doo
- In 1998, SpaghettiOs gave the buyer a chance to win a £1,000 vacation adventure, copy of the Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island film. Also, in the same year, SpaghettiOs and TheO, via Kid Rhino, sold sampler CDs of The Best-O-Scooby-Doo!
In popular culture
- In the film Big Daddy, Sonny (played by Adam Sandler) stood in a supermarket with the Scooby-Doo SpaghettiOs cans on the shelf behind him.
