~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Travelers on a Nevada highway hit an unusual traffic hiccup when an overturned truck covered the roadway in cans and bottles of Dr. Pepper and 7Up.

Nevada State Police said the truck overturned on Interstate 80, between Mogul and Garson in the Reno area.

The truck ended up on its side, spilling crates loaded with cans and bottles of Dr. Pepper and 7Up into the roadway.

No injuries were reported from the truck crash or the ensuing soda spill.

NHP said traffic in both directions was reduced to one lane due to multiple minor crashes in the area.

Too bad. I heard it was heading to a “None of these candidates” victory party.

Absolutely. I do drink diet soft drinks but they’re probably no good for one either

Brian: Pepsi Syndrome? I’ve never heard of it.

Matt: Only a handful of people know what the Pepsi Syndrome means. Maybe soon, everyone will know it.

Carl: But, what is it?

Matt: Well, the Pepsi Syndrome. If someone spills a Pepsi on the control panel of a nuclear power reactor, the panel can short-circuit, and the whole core may melt down.

Brian: But, you spilled a Coke.

Matt: It doesn’t matter. Any cola does it.

Carl: Any cola? What about RC Cola?

Matt: Yeah, RC does it.

Brian: Canada Dry?

Matt: Sure.

Carl: 7-up?

Matt: It’s harmless. It’s an un-cola. [ smacks his hands to his forehead ] Oh, wow! I could have had a V8!

Mr.Pibb. That brings back memories. I still find that in MS occasionally, and at Redbird games in Downtown Memphis.

Coke would send people out to restaurants to make sure if they ordered “Coke” by name, they got a Coke.
