Apology of the month comes from Loaded, the little boys’ magazine, which somehow persuaded itself that Heinz once supplied the Nazi regime with a version of alphabet spaghetti consisting of tiny swastikas. This is an urban myth. “We now accept that Heinz has never produced swastika shaped spaghetti nor did it support the Nazi regime in any other way. Indeed, we accept that Heinz was a major contributor to the Allies’ war efforts, producing rations for the troops,” the magazine admits dolefully. Ein Reich! Ein Volk! Ein Spaghetti!. Link

Not that the Times has ever had to make an apology (or failed to make one when it was appropriate)…
