I have a money tree I am trying to sell. Maybe I need to go to Switzerland to make the commercial for it.

Keep the tree. Sell the seeds with a minimum 2-month germination period and a 30-day full refund guarantee.

how did they get rid of the spaghetti weevil? pesticide? biological control?

[John Little]

They have a special group of horticulturists known as "Men Who Talk to Weevils," and they erradicate any infested area. ;)

Wasn't it a first-april-joke??

[John Little]

I believe that was the underlying premise for the video, but at the time April Fool's jokes were rare in the media.

I knew it!

Spagetti grows on trees.

Those damn spaghetti weevils.... Always ruining my crops.

It's all in the soil, I say.

[bronzechains]

There's actually a television show, "The Weevil Whisperer".
