Find the common theme

spaghetti - not sure how I get it, just comes to me:

spaghetti junction is a tangle of wires or cords
spaghetti straps are thin straps on a dress or blouse
spaghetti squash is obvious
Spaghetti western is a western filmed in Italy, usually be Sergio Leone
Spaghetti sauce is delicious when done right

Well done. And thanks. The Google of those five clues sent me to Urban Dictionary as a first hit. The junction was the one I had never even heard of, but I wouldn’t have guessed it without that clue either. Maybe straps would have gotten through my skull but I doubt it.

It’s been a while since one of these was worth sharing.

This one has a 3-word answer in a 3-3-6 letter arrangement

Clues:

Tower Records
Starburst
Denny’s
Kodak
McDonald’s
Shell Oil

Another meaning for Spaghetti Junction is a complicated highway interchange. I believe it started with the motorway in Birmingham, UK. There are several more examples listed in Wikipedia. (The Birmingham one was where I first heard the phrase)
