Btw, i just found out on friday that it's not just me!
I was in the supermarket, and i saw that the aisle with all the
different
types of pasta, and pasta sauces, and similar stuff was labled
_macaroni_.  So then i looked at the boxes, and every one of the
different types of pasta made by the companies "San Giorgio" and
"Ronzoni" had something along the lines of 'an enriched macaroni
product'
written in small letters on the carton, somewheres near the name of
the
actual type of pasta itself.

Oh no...the degeneration of society :) Of course, if you look at
actually Italian products (such as my personally favourite pasta
brand Barilla), they tend to reflect proper pasta nomenclature more.

There was actually an ad campaign for the brand last year on radio,
involving a guy pointing out that there are only three lines of
English on the box, which apparently shows the genuine nature of
their product.
