On April 1, 1957, the BBC’s Panorama fooled 8 million viewers with a 3-minute prank about a ‘Swiss spaghetti harvest,’ narrated by Richard Dimbleby. Showing farmers picking spaghetti from bushes, it tricked many Britons unfamiliar with pasta—then an exotic dish—thanks to the BBC’s credibility and the era’s limited culinary exposure. #AprilFools #BBC

@NatureMC It feels like a belated #AprilFools but alas it is reality.

I do try to laugh at it. So when the tears go down my face you dont know if its because of the laughter or the legit crying. Maybe both.

On the brightside, #spring has come and me and the dog will play fetch in the park. Maybe I'll take my daughter with me. Depends on how tired she is.
