The former Campbell Soup Company executive who created SpaghettiOs and Chunky Soup died at his home in southern New Jersey on Sunday, the New York Times reported. He was 83.
The man behind the Os, Donald Goerke, died of heart failure, his son David told the Times.
As a marketing manager for Campbell's Franco-American products, Goerke headed up the team that was asked to develop a new canned pasta for children that had to be both durable -- able to survive canning and reheating -- and to be something parents wouldn't hesitate to serve messy children.
The result?
