Pasta Bods hands two of you sixteen shapes from the dry goods aisle and asks you to become them without the sauce. Fusilli wants a full spiral twisted together; Orecchiette (Little Ears) wants one enormous ear, which is funnier than it has any right to be; Tortellini asks for a folded ring that holds its shape for the full ten seconds, which is the actual hard part. It's the pack that turns a packet of dried pasta into a body-shape reference guide, and turns two people into rivals over who gets to be the ravioli. Auntie Zeffie judges with the seriousness of a nonna watching you overcook the linguine. No kitchen, no props, no actual pasta required — just two people and a phone propped where it can see you both. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round, so dinner's different every time. Good for a rainy afternoon with someone who'll actually commit to being a bowtie.

How it works

  1. The card flips.
  2. You've got 10 seconds for the two of you to work out who's what and make the shape together.
  3. Bods! The camera catches it, Auntie Zeffie scores it and judges you.
  4. Share the result, or don't.
