Source: Useless DailyDid you know: A fun origin fact is that on April 1, 1957, BBC made a spoof broadcast convincing everyone that spaghetti grew on trees. At that time spaghetti was considered an exotic delicacy and BBC played on that fact by going into much (facetious) detail about how frost could impair the flavor of spaghetti and that spaghetti strings always grow to the same length. Bonus fact about this television presentation: some people believe it was the first time the television was used to stage an April Fools joke.
