But the most unbeatable joke to date is considered to be the BBC television broadcast the story in the morning of the first April day of 1957. "In Switzerland this year there is an unprecedented spaghetti harvest, - said the host of the news program, - Of course, in this country the harvest of spaghetti does not reach such wide industrial scales as in Italy. Many have probably seen photographs of the grand plantations in the Po Valley. In Switzerland, it is, rather, a family business...” The story was accompanied by documentaries: a family of Swiss farmers friendshiply tear pasta from the trees and put it in baskets. "Those who love this dish know: there is nothing better than real spaghetti from their own garden," the host concluded, and... a whirlwind of calls crashed on the BBC. Thousands of people were asked to send pastries. Particularly curious expressed surprise that pasta grows vertically, not horizontally. There were also confusing ones: what, then, we were mistaken, thinking that pasta is made of flour? But most were interested in the question: "How to grow spaghetti trees on your site?" The TV channel responded, “Plant a spaghetti in a bowl of tomato sauce and hope for the best.”
