Is a box of spaghetti more interspersed with air pockets than a box of just about anything else?

Is a box of spaghetti more interspersed with air pockets than a box of just about anything else?
- Stratoscope 7y agoNo, and no one said it was. It was just one out of many possible examples of something with a lot of air pockets.
- lurquer 7y agoWhat type of pasta would be more appropriate for the analogy? Clearly, spaghetti is probably the worst... I suggest macherroni (i.e. the mac and cheese noodle) or, perhaps, cavatappi.
- harperlee 7y agoI think it is a good example because it is fundamentally different than a sponge. Spaghetti have air pockets moving in just one dimension, in a linear fashion, and of the same size; whereas a sponge has multisize 3d air pockets.
- Tempest1981 7y agoMaybe it's the uniform pattern of the air pockets?
