The Spaghetti Policy

Under the Marinara Clause, noodles are green-lit so long as they ride in a soft-sided individual container. And here's the part the suits don't want you to know: if your sauce is bunked up in the same Ziploc as the spaghetti bird law overrides and declares fit for consumption.  The Viscosity Doctrine clearly states that a liquid traveling with its noodle is no longer contraband, it's an escort. So YES, spaghetti is permitted, sauce included, provided the whole operation is sealed in clear plastic on arrival, which is convenient because how else would you eat spaghetti?

Unofficial, untangled, and legally meaningless. Trust the real rules above.
