I was at the store the other day and the Barilla pasta was on sale... but the on-sale price was basically the same as the La Molisana stuff that's bronze-die cut and thus better. I'm sure it's a different situation in different parts of the world but I hear this is not uncommon, and why would you buy Barilla at this point; it's neither the cheapest pasta, nor is it as good as some other pasta brands (de cecco, garofalo, etc) that are better but are often no more expensive.

And you know, it used to be you'd go to the store and it was wall to wall barilla and you'd be lucky if you could find divella but I see more and more de cecco, I see more and more garofalo pasta, I see Barilla's shelf space slowly shrinking. People are waking up to this! People are becoming aware! Barilla's house of cards is about to fall, folks!

I'm sure it was out of money as much as hearts and minds, but they stamped out homophobia within the company and poured a lot of resources into (I'd say not particularly effective but) a lot of lgbt initiatives as pennance, and aiui helped the Italian (or at least their city) lgbt movement borrow their credibility
