Prego Pasta Sauce announced they were teaming up with StoryCorps to create a device that would store pasta while also eavesdropping on, recording, and, according to some reports, uploading your family’s dinner conversations to the Library of Congress.

It gets even crazier.

The devices sold out almost instantly! (Probably picked up by some guys in an unmarked van).

To be fair, though, Prego promised the devices won’t upload your conversations without permission.
