Why pasta comes in all shapes and sizes | Small Thing Big Idea, a TED series

Think twice when picking what pasta you want for dinner. The shape of your noodle makes a difference, explains Paola Antonelli, senior curator at The Museum of Modern Art.

Small Thing Big Idea, a TED original series, celebrates the lasting genius of everyday objects so perfectly designed that they changed the world around them.

Even her last name ‘Antonelli’ sounds like a type of pasta to me

I didn't really learn anything from this video.
Interesting editing... but the information got lost in the entertainment (and editing style).

[senfdame]

the foley artist went really nuts with the sound design here

[PrinceRylan]

why is this video like how drug trips are in movies

[augustkasemaa]

What every Italian dreams of when they are sleeping.

[AlexaMielle]

I now realize our life offers great exploring pasta-bilities

The question, why the different shapes of pasta, was never answered.

Not enough shapes named, no history, no locations, no history.

I am so glad you have addressed concern of mine. Throughout my life, I always wondered why pasta came in little bow-ties. Now that I am officially 32, I finally know my worth and the answer to my ever lasting question.

It's weird how the universe shows you things you are dealing with or learning about. Today, I'm literally cooking for the first time and I'm cooking spaghetti. I know it sounds stupid but it's cool that this video popped up lol.

[YondaMoegi]

Too much visual and audio stimulation, couldn’t concentrate or listen to the narration

[samarthtaneja]

The video editor made it so interesting !

[МаксатКыдыралиев-зз]

Dont know what im doing here. Its one a.m must be in bed i guess

[DuQey]

I can't even... My teacher sent this to my group as a listening exercise

[RaiofLight]

The Flying Spaghetti Monster blessed Italy and China with creating his pasta army to invade the world.

[asireprimad]

the video does not answer the question in the title - or am i missing something?

[prescott]

Also the surface area of the pasta effects how much do the pasta flavor you get.

[joyfullone]

Looks like trump hair pasta! Innovative but not tasty!

[swift_]

The sound effects were distracting and overstimulating. I don’t like this style of video.

There is a mistake in the subtitles. It's called "conchiglie" not "conquilla"! Cheers from Italy
