Who dumped hundreds of pounds of cooked pasta by a N.J. creek¹ — and why?

Transcript²

No one seems to know how the pasta ended up in Old Bridge Township. Workers there removed the pasta and got rid of the garbage near the creek. One local called the clean up: Mission Impastable.

A MART?NEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martínez.

It might be cloudy with a chance of meatballs for residents of Old Bridge Township, N.J., after hundreds of pounds of cooked pasta popped up by a creek. No one knows how the noodles got there. Got to wonder if the Flint Lockwood diatonic, super-mutating, dynamic food replicator went rogue³ again. Anyways, public works removed the pasta and got rid of the garbage near the stream. One local called the cleanup "Mission Impastable" (ph).
