Über diesen Titel

What do you do when the government tells you your life’s work might be poisonous? If you’re Mario Fabbrini, you give it a formal burial.

In this episode of Weird Americana, we travel back to 1973 to witness The Great Michigan Pizza Funeral. After a botulism scare led to a massive recall, Fabbrini decided to dispose of 30,000 frozen pizzas by burying them in a 10-foot-deep hole in the ground.

We’ll discuss the white-casket eulogy, the Michigan Governor who actually attended the event, and the heartbreaking twist discovered after the sauce was already in the soil.

It’s a short look at bizarre American history, the drama of the frozen food industry, and the man who turned a business disaster into a legendary piece of Midwest folklore.
