Engley GANNETT NEWS SERVICE This is a great year for anniversaries. Wealready have observed World War Il-related 50th anniversaries: the bombing of Dresden, the liberation of the death camps, the end of the war in Europe. There also wasthe 50th anniversary of CARE, the 25th anniversaries of Earth Day, the killings at Kent State and the 20th anniversary of the U.S. departure from Vietnam. And the first wedding anniversary of Michael Jackson and Lisa MariePresley. Beforethe yearis out, we wiil have anniversariesofthefinal 1945 battles in the Pacific, the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the surrenderof the Japanese. Soundslike enough. But there is more. Andthe List Goes On: This year also is the 200th anniversary of Jim Beam whiskey, the 85th of the Cub Scouts, the 65th of Hostess Twinkies, the 50th of Mountain Dew (‘“Ya-hooo! Mountain Dew,there’s a bangin ever’ bottle!”’), the 30th of SpaghettiOs, the 10th of the lamentable New Coke (funny, the Coke people are not trumpeting that one), the 10th of Nintendo’s Mario Brothersin the United States, the fifth of the Saturn automobile, the 50th anniversary of outdoor furniture... And youthoughtoutdoor furniture was invented before 1945. So why the anniversary? “Fifty years ago Memorial Day weekend, Brown and Jordan werethefirst to mass-produce outdoor furniture,” says Hope Rosenberg of the New York PR firm Brooks Rogers Inc. So 1995 is the 50th anniversary of Rosenberg’s clients’ product. People in public relations, paid to get the namesoftheir clients in the paper, have learned that journalists love anniversaries. Journalists especially love 10th, 25th, 50th and 100th anniversaries. Nice round numbers.Divisible by 10s andfives, easily remembered by those who weregreat in English compbutbad in algebra. ‘Thatis why, as the end of the 20th century grows closer, newspapers, magazines and electronic mediawill get us all ‘excited about the turning of the calendar to Jan. 1, 2000, even though the century actually ends 12 monthslater. Thathelps explain the 30th anniversary of SpaghettiOs. In 1965, when Lyndon Johnson was president, the people at Campbell's Soups thought there was something boringly adult about straight canned pasta. Andit did not stay on kids’ spoons. “We knewthatchildrenwerea big consumer of canned pasta,” says Elizabeth Hanlin of Campbell’s Soups, who swears she ate SpaghettiOs as a kid “The marketing wisdom wasthat if we made it fun, we could create a bigger marketforit. It’s the ‘O’ shapes, the fact that it stays on the spoonis fun.” ‘O’ Yes: So Campbell's Don Goerke designed little pasta rings and company chefs immersed them in tomato sauce just a bit sweeter than adult tastes and uh-oh, SpaghettiOs were born. @ The “Uh-Oh, SpaghettiOs” signature line was a takeoff on the Jimmie Rodgers rock hit “Oh-Oh, I'm Falling in Love Again.” @ There are more than 1,750 O's in a 15-ounce can of SpaghettiOs, with four differentsizes. @ Per-capita consumption of Spaghet- COMBINED NEWS SERVICES SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina BONNEVILLE PACIFIC Mayor Not Among Ex-Principals Indicted By Ted Cilwick Campbell's people thoughtfully provided AnnLanders Asimov Quiz Births Business Calendar Classifieds 63 #7 88 D6 C41 2 inlermountain,.
