"Pasta Dumping Mystery Solved in New Jersey Town"
TL;DR Summary
Residents of Old Bridge, New Jersey, were left puzzled after finding around 500lbs of uncooked pasta dumped next to a local brook. The pasta, which appeared cooked due to recent rainfall, was eventually cleaned up by public works employees. Some residents believe the pile of noodles came from a nearby home that is currently up for sale, where a military veteran was clearing out his parents' house and discovered a stockpile of old pasta. The incident has been criticized for being wasteful, with some suggesting the pasta could have been donated to a food pantry or homeless shelter.
