This Tuesday, the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) posted photos on its X account-formerly known as Twitter-followed by another post Wednesday on its Facebook page showing dozens of cans of a gooey, golden nacho cheese strewn along a stretch of highway about 100 miles southwest of Little Rock.
‘Taco Tuesday anyone? A truck carrying cans of nacho cheese spilled today on I-30 west near Prescott,’ they stated in the Facebook post.
In the photos of the saucy spill, you can see the bright orange scene composed of a large number of cans of canned food and cheese sauce that ended up generating a large traffic queue on the road. Although nothing serious happened and no one was injured, the wave of memes and comments about it did not take long to proliferate.
Culinary spills on the road
Strange as it may seem, U.S. highways and roads have lately become the scene of major food spills or spills of epic proportions. In June of last year, a truck dumped 15,000 pounds of hot dog stuffing down a Pennsylvania highway, while in July there was an Alfredo sauce spill in Tennessee, followed by a tomato spill in California in the same week.
