April Fools' Day is an annual custom on April 1 consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes.
In Greece the basic idea for people to start telling small, innocent lies on April 1st, it was the believe that whoever manages to trick the “victim,” will have luck along his/her side for the rest of the year.
On April 1, 1957 the British news show Panorama broadcast a three-minute segment about a bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland.
The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax generated an enormous response. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree.
