Original Title: In 1957 on April Fools' Day, the BBC broadcaste a three-minute hoax report showing a family in southern Switzerland harvesting spaghetti from a "spaghetti tree". Back then, spaghetti was relatively unknown in the UK, and a number of viewers contacted the BBC for advice on growing their own trees.
