This is bonkers - just when I thought I've seen it all. Other than drainage for the water, there's another really good reason why the hole in your spaghetti server is there.

Evidently, over 35% of Americans fall into the “obese” category. I'm not surprised to hear that our portion sizes need to be looked at, and most restaurants really over-do it in order to make us feel like we're getting our money's worth. Many restaurant entrees total over 2,000 calories per meal, and fast food restaurants like to race each other to see what other random (yet delicious) concoction they can come up with next, the United States needs a wake-up call.

Who knew? Is this news to you? I never had any idea - I might just give this a try!
