A New Jersey resident discovered what appeared to be hundreds ofwhen she came across heaps of cooked spaghetti and macaroni."A good estimate is more than 500 pounds of pasta dumped adjacent to the streams intersecting with Hilliard and Mimi," Jochnowitz wrote on Facebook.
Nina Jochnowitz was walking through a creek near Veterans Park in Old Bridge, New Jersey when she came across heaps of cooked pasta. Jochnowitz said that public works employees rapidly cleaned up the noodles after she posted about it on social media. Officials do not know who dumped the pasta or why."We should send the perpetrators to the state penne tentiary," one Reddit user said."Italian grandmas: why would someone dump four servings of pasta in the woods like that?" another one joked.
Though it was a humorous situation, Jonchowitz said that the incident highlights Old Bridge's lack of bulk garbage pickup services. She also claimed that the pasta mounds had the potential to hurt the environment."You might say, ‘Who cares about pasta?’ But pasta has a PH level that will impact the water stream," Jochnowitz said to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
