[edit] False

It's false, this should be deleted.

I disagree. Rice-A-Roni is clearly a tasty and valuable option. Whoever says otherwise is a satanist.

[edit] Image

I'll give it a couple of weeks for consensus, but so far the two choices for main image are Image:Rice-A-Roni.jpg and Image:Ricearoni.jpg, neither of which are spectacular images, but which is less awful? Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 05:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• The former is a much more useful shot as it shows more than one variety of the "San Francisco Treat". A little reduction will actually make it look better. 147.70.242.40 20:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccuracies in article

First off, last I checked, many San Francisco cable cars still bear a Rice-A-Roni ad, including the Rice-a-Roni sponsored car from the rebuilding of the system in the 1980's. Also, on the back of every box (as of this writing in 2006), it bears a indicium of a cable car with the text "The San Francisco Treat". The lines about them dropping the tagline are at minimum need citation, and at maximum completely inaccurate based on simple observation.

From article: "In 1895, Italian-born immigrant, Domenico DeDomenico (1915-2007).[1] , moved to California"... please correct this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.106.177 (talk) 04:55, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parody of Rice-a-Roni

Some years ago, San Francisco 49ers players Jerry Rice and Ronnie Lott were featured on a box designed to look like a Rice-a-Roni box. The box read "Rice and Ronnie, the San Francisco Threat."

[edit] Game shows

Should be mentioned that it was heavily promoted on 1970s TV game shows... AnonMoos 22:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
