Everyone’s Favorite Pasta Sauce, RAO’s, Just Got Bought Out
When is comes to pasta sauce, everyone has their favorite, but if you’re favorite isn’t RAO’s, then you’re wrong. I’m sorry! I know it’s expensive, and I know a lot of people won’t even try it for that reason, but it is hands down the best pasta sauce you can buy on the shelf.
Don’t believe me? When I first met my fiancé, he told me he hated pasta. After deliberating whether or not this relationship could now work, as I love pasta… I decided to test this proclamation. I started making all types of pasta dishes for him, and wouldn’t you know… he loves them! Why? Because of the RAO’s sauce.
This week, it was announced that in a massive deal, Campbell Soup Company had acquired ROA’s sauces parent company Sovos Brands Inc for a whopping $2.7 BILLION dollars.
I have some opinions about this.
First of all, Campbells… Don’t mess this up!
I will be so upset if Campbell messes with the recipe in any way. Don’t cut costs or corners or change a thing, and I will be happy. Otherwise, Campbell’s will have a lot of people upset with this.
Here’s the pro to this though…
With Campbell’s now owning the company, I’ve got to imagine they are trying to think about all the new products they can create and release using RAO’s sauce. I’m totally into that idea. Imagine more RAO’s snacks, frozen meals, and other items you can get easily at a grocery store.
We’ll have to wait and see what will happen, but all I know is that recipe better not change one bit or else I’m gonna have to find a new way to convince my fiancé he loves pasta again.
Study Says This Is The Best North Carolina TV Show Of All Time
When you think of TV Shows filmed in North Carolina what is the first show that comes to your mind? A few years ago there actually a large number of shows filmed here due to tax breaks offered to the film industry. Those tax breaks have since ended and the filming packed up to relocate elsewhere. But we aren’t simply talking about shows that were filmed in North Carolina, in fact, some of the ones on this list weren’t filmed here at all. What they do have in common, is they were set in NC. Our friends at BetCarolina conducted research and shared it with us, about the best the North Carolina TV Show of all time.
How did they come up with this list? Well, they first consulted Wikipedia’s “Television Shows Set In North Carolina” page as a starting point. That’s where the studied shows came from. From there, they created a “weighted scoring system”. This system used IMBD ratings, Rotten Tomatoes Scores from audiences and critics, as well as awards show recognition.
So while you’re favorite set in North Carolina TV Show may have made the list perhaps it didn’t rank as high as you think it should. One wildly popular show actually came in 10th on this list. And it’s one I know many many people who are die-hard fans of to this day. It ranked below several shows I’d never heard of. Although full disclosure I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of any show on this list. Judge me all you want. So for that reason I will spare you my uneducated opinion on the topic.
