Why do they not just make half length spaghetti?

By snapping the long ones in half, before they package them at the factory.

I've seen it at Target. I think they called it pot-length.

The fuck? I got me a 14 inch shallow pot so's I don't have to break my pastas

Half length spaghetti are easy: You take full length spaghetti and snap them in half.

Fast and simple solution.

It pretty much defeats the point of spaghetti. Spaghetti trap sauce by being long enough to wrap them around your fork. If you want shorter pasta, there's tons of shapes out there which are better at trapping sauce without wrapping around a fork.
