Swiss Spaghetti Tree?

Hope you have all had a happy April Fools’ Day thus far. Keeping with the theme of the day, I bring to you the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest of 1957. 

According to the Museum of Hoaxes, “The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax generated an enormous response. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this query the BBC diplomatically replied, ‘Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.’”
