An estimated 500 pounds of pasta was dumped in a wooded area of Old Bridge, NJ. Resident Nina Jochnowitz took photographs of the illegal dump site and alerted authorities, who had the soggy noodles removed. There’s been some speculation that the pasta was the stockpile of a recently deceased woman and disposed of by a relative cleaning out the home. I don’t buy it. That’s a lot of linguine for one person to amass.
What’s your theory, hoax, weird art installation, or Flying Spaghetti Monster miracle?
im going with spaghetti monster miracle
like…the fuck is going on there?
i mean…500lbs of pasta is one thing…hell of a stock pile even…
but over here at least….pasta is generally packaged in however big sized bags or boxes
takes a special kind of crazy to unwrap everything…and wheelbarrow it into the forest…in..like..15 trips apparently.
could have just put it out front all packaged with a sign saying free pasta and it would be gone in no time flat
Right? Nobody would open it all if they were just illegally dumping it!
Maybe this? (Chocolate pasta with white chocolate liqueur sauce.)
500 lbs of chocolate pasta is my kind of miracle.
That’s probably one of the less bizarre things people have hoarded. Compared to 500 pounds of cats, that’s not so much.
But most pasta is sold in 1 lb packages. Even if you could store 500 boxes of pasta why would they open it to dump out? Unless they were buy in bulk for a restaurant or something. 🤷🏻♀️
even the restaurants only get 20lbs bags
mostly coz you know….you dont really want to be carrying anything bigger than that
soooo….thats still like 25 bags they could have just dragged out front with a sign…..
Still a lot of work.
I always blame aliens…
…I’m sure there’s a youtube clip for this out there somewhere…& if there isn’t that an AI could find & clip one out for me…but about 6:30 into this
…is the “aliens” bit I involuntarily leapt to from the phrase “always blame aliens”?
You gotta blame someone, may as well be aliens.
THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME. I WOULD HAVE PICKED IT UP.
So wasteful.
Maybe they did unbox it all thinking that means it isn’t littering because nature can take care of composting it.
I hadn’t thought of that.
The best explanation I can think of is that there’s a spaghettio’s factory somewhere nearish and someone fucked up big time with batches and had to hide the evidence.
Wait wait wait I figured it out
Someone had a fundraiser where people came to prep food for a soup kitchen, food pantry, food distribution, one of those things. Like “donate $$$ to come help the community with your local representative ____”
And then it was all a scam to just get money and look like a caring community member and then since they had no actual distribution plan, all the food was dumped in the woods. Bet it was a republican or a big church pastor.
I like this theory, lol.
