Pasta is a great example of this.

When I was at university one of my friends was studying engineering and one of his assignments was to design it a new type of pasta in CAD software to maximize surface area and minimize volume or something. The result came out looking like some kind of 2D fractal, with a bunch of holes in it.

Basically you don't want too much pasta in your pasta.
