Spaghettios by any other brand is not the same when you sing the jingle

The other night my kid wanted Spaghettios for dinner. Don't judge. In my defense, he's a picky eater so I'll happily make whatever he wants so long as he eats it. Anyway, while dumping it into the pot I noticed the label. Campbell's completely did away with the Franco-American name its cans. When did this happen and why the hell wasn't I told?


 




Now I can't sing the song. Remember the cute little jingle that kids sang during the commercial?

The jingle how I remember it:

The neat round spaghetti you can eat with a spoon
Uh-oh Spaghettios
Franco-American

The jingle now that they changed the name:

The neat round spaghetti you can eat with a spoon
Uh oh Spaghettios
Campbells

It just falls flat. Which is why I didn't put "Campbells " in italics in the song. What the hell people?! Way to kill a childhood memory!
