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

  • @catxflma

    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??

  • @MissSunshine128

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

  • This ranks right up there with Dihydrogen Monoxide and is worthy of William Horace de Vere Cole.
