THAT doesn't grow on trees, does it?

Imagine yourself sitting in your living room. It's 6 O'clock and the evening news is on the television Your wife (because, in this example, we are all males) is making dinner in the kitchen. BBC comes on the air with a fantastic clip about the harvests around the world. A clip shows ladies harvesting spaghetti noodles. You set your paper down, sit up straight and are fascinated by this. You thought spaghetti was something you made, not something that grew on trees. You call your wife into the room and she is also bewildered by the documentary on the screen. Well, this actually happened. In 1957 the BBC convinced (some) households that Spaghetti grew on trees, and that Switzerland was having a great harvest that year. That is a lot of work for a prank, don't you think? The video is a clip from BBC in 1957
