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!)

I know just the guy to clean up this mess...

Ooh! A Harry Chapin shout out though I thought the banana incident took place outside of Scranton, PA?

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

Yes, it is a terrible shame.

[Larry Lucido]

Wonder if we could make a pizza?

Can’t get my weary old head around it.

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

[beck]

oh yes. Glenn is on it.

That’s my pot pie kitty

[Boogieman]

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?:

This will also be the Year of the MD cheseball shortage.
