00:00Someone dumped roughly 15 wheelbarrows of pasta in a wooded area in New Jersey, but no one knows why.
00:06The noodles, which were a variety of shapes including alphabet and macaroni, totaled between 300 and 500 pounds.
00:13They were discovered next to a creek in New Jersey's Old Bridge Township at the end of April,
00:17sparking intense debates online about who dumped it and why.
00:21Many dubbed the event Mission Impossible or the Great Pasta Gate of 2023.
00:26And Reddit, of course, had a field day.
00:30Officials who were torn on whether the pasta was cooked or had simply softened in the rain,
00:41cleaned up the mess and said an investigation is ongoing.
00:44Community leader Nina Joknowicz told the New York Times that the pasta dumper was not a restaurant,
00:50but a private resident who they declined to name.
00:52Joknowicz also said the incident highlights the town's illegal dumping problems
00:57and its lack of bulk garbage pickup options.
