No mention if the spaghetti was al dente or not. Maybe it depends on the tree. 😀

I actually remember seeing this on TV around 1967 or so. I don't remember what show just that I was thinking: "That's not true!"

A April Fool’s Joke.
A local radio personality said that Mount Trashmore ,( yes that is the name, a former landfill turned park ), had exploded.

Local authorities were not amused.

I started to just shake my head, but then I remembered all the times I’ve seen a thread title here on a story by the “Bee” and bought it at first.

This was, without a doubt, the best April Fool's prank of all time. Sports fans from the 1980s will know what I'm talking about. LOL.

On April 1, 1982, I tuned in to KRLA (the old rock station at 1110 kilocycles, not today’s talk station at 870) and was astounded to learn that it was no longer 1982 but 1963. The program featured news and weather reports, advertisements, and hit songs from April 1, 1963. I was at first taken aback before I realized that it was April 1.

that one was cute but the best ever was in Sitka, ALaska in 1974.

Residents awoke to see that the long dormant volcano in the distance was smoking and was possibly erupting. No one would have thought that a local car dealer and well-known prankster flew a few helicopter loads of old tires to the top and lit them on fire overnight.

Police and Fire departments had advance notice of the stunt, but he forgot to call the Coast Guard who immediately overflew the volcano. Oops.
