The Spaghetti Policy

Since outside food is banned unless you're medical, and sauce is technically a 'beverage' under the Marinara Clause, you'd need a clear bag for the liquid and a doctor's note for the noodles. Therefore, the verdict is NO, but if I had a better lawyer, I've always maintained that pasta is a grain-based beverage when blended.

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