============================================================

Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Transportation officials in Maryland said a tractor-trailer hauling 20,000 pounds of cheese balls overturned on the interstate, spilling snacks across lanes of traffic.

The Maryland Department of Transportation's State Highway Administration said the tractor-trailer was involved in a crash at 2:23 p.m. on Interstate 495 in Montgomery County and spilled cheese ball snacks into the roadway.

The crash also resulted in a fuel spill and a sand truck was called to the scene to assist with clean-up efforts.

No injuries were reported from the incident. Two lanes of traffic were closed temporarily during the clean-up operation.

If there are seagulls nearby, they will eat about anything.

There was a big dump of propane tanks on the Long Island expressway in New York. We are getting all the parts for a huge barbecue. Now if we can just get them together in one place.

Bummer. There’s hardly any cheese. It’s mostly air. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!)

Look like cheese PUFFS. Would a 53’ trailer full of them weigh 10 tons? Can’t get my weary old head around it.

That was my first thought. They must be using Dominion's 2020 election math machines.

It's hard to believe even a tractor-trailer full of those could weigh 10 tons, since they are basically flavored air.

Maybe they meant these cheese balls?:
