Because Tuesday is Sloppy Joe Day. Any leftover Sloppy Joe is put in to the spaghetti sauce.

Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day LOL
"Advertising for the company during the period before the 1950s was mainly done in Italian newspapers since spaghetti and macaroni were considered an ethnic food.
Around 1953, Mr. Pellegrino hired the advertising firm of Jerome O'Leary of Boston where they created the famous slogan "Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day." This was an attempt to introduce non-Italians to pasta products. The advertising at this time was done on radio. Prince sponsored "The Stan Freberg Show"; and later did television commercials sponsoring the Sunday Night Movie of the Week. This was a big advancement for Prince. Joseph P. Pellegrino II continued to take an active part in the business in the early 1960s with aggressive advertising and promotions. In 1969, the famous "Anthony" TV commercial was introduced to the public."

My theory is based on experience. Leftover meat from the spaghetti sauce (Italian sausage or meatballs) was a very delicious lunch the next day. Because most Italians are Catholic and Catholics could not eat meat on Fridays year-round in the old days (it is now mandatory only during Lent) having spaghetti on Wednesday allowed your to have a nice sausage or meatball sandwich for lunch on Thursday! I brought many meatballs sandwiches to school for lunch as a kid! But why Wednesday? Most Italians had pasta for Sunday dinner so that gave your a few days' break in between.
