TIL about how BBC once convinced people Spaghetti grew on trees. In 1957,BBC broadcast a 3min program about Switzerland farms growing Spaghetti trees. The farmers harvested them and put in the sun to dry them.The presenter explained Spaghetti always grows to the same length. People believed it.

    Where did "Jewish" come from? Or are you just scapegoating again. You do realise that the more you push this where it's clearly just racism, the less I'll be likely to believe it when you do start calling out some actual ethnicity-wide brainwashing conspiracy.

    Also: April Fools' Day is a tradition in Britain.
