If you were caught in a traffic snarl at the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) and Eisenhower Expressway (I-290), you've got beer to thank. A Miller Lite semi-tractor trailer overturned while taking a turn on the on ramp and the top of the truck ripped open, spilling thousands of beer cans and bottles. Things have since been cleared up and the driver suffered only minor cuts and bruises. [Sun-Times]

Too bad it was Miller products.

Actually dropping them on the side of the road is probably the best place for Miller's selection

I'll take an ice cold High Life on a hot day over a lot of other beers any time. As for the rest of that stuff (Chill? What the hell is that?), meh.

Sucks that it's Miller, but from the point of view of BEER in general, I dont know if this is better or the Oreo cookie spill from a while back.

OH NO! How will all of our summer's start without Miller Chill?

On the Miller tour, they pose a "what if" about a truck spilling their beer into your back yard and how long it would take you to drink it. Maybe they should knock on some of those wooden planks in plank road.

I can't find that clip from Weekend Update when Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are talking about the beer truck that flipped over and how they wanted to drink beer out of the dirt. Damn Hulu....
