THE GREAT SWISS SPAGHETTI HARVEST
On April 1, 1957 the British news show, Panorama, broadcast a segment about a bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland. The success of the crop was attributed to an unusually mild winter. The audience heard Richard Dimble-
by, the show's highly respected anchor, discussing the details of the spaghetti crop as they watched a rural Swiss family pulling pasta off spaghetti trees and placing it into baskets.
"The spaghetti harvest here in Switzerland is not, of course, carried out on anything like the tremendous scale of the Italian industry," Dimbleby informed the audience.
"Many of you, I'm sure" he continued, "will have seen pictures of the vast spaghetti plantations in the Po valley. For the Swiss, however, it tends to be more of a family affair."
The response of the British audience to the program was enormous and unprecidented, asking questions about the success of the harvest, expressing interest in where Swiss-grown spaghetti could be purchased and under what brand names, was it significantly different from the Italian-grown spaghetti, etc. etc. etc. Needless to say, the ruse was complete and hilarious.
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!
