"There was a time not so long ago when your local pizza delivery person wasn't just slinging cardboard boxes filled with cheesy pies but also vast vats of vermicelli. Yes, the legends are true; not only were folks in the '90s ordering spaghetti delivered straight to their doorstep, but in a move that had Nonna rolling over in her grave, Little Caesars delivered these massive portions of sauced pasta in huge plastic buckets."
"Quickly, however, the saucy pasta caught on. Just a few months after its introduction, the spaghetti had moved from side to main, with Little Caesars offering three sizes of pasta buckets: small, medium, and "Big! Big!" It's a little hard to imagine anyone turning down the "Big! Big!" option, which included not only three-and-a-half pounds of saucy noodles but also eight pieces of "Crazy Bread" - which is what the brand calls its breadsticks."
Little Caesars sold sauced spaghetti in large plastic buckets beginning in 1993. The item, called "Spaghetti! Spaghetti!", began as a side with pizza orders and quickly became a main offering. The chain offered small, medium, and a "Big! Big!" bucket containing three-and-a-half pounds of noodles and eight pieces of Crazy Bread. Customers could order the buckets delivered for under $10, with sauces that ranged from marinara to an unspecified meat sauce. The spaghetti buckets were discontinued in 1998. Little Caesars continued to introduce unusual menu items afterward, but the pasta bucket remains its most absurd offering.
