Tons of Oreos Spilled in Truck Crash

A truck hauling 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos crashed on I-80 early this morning, spilling plastic sleeves of cookies all over the highway. The truck's driver fell asleep, according to police, and crashed into a median near Morris, about 50 miles southwest of here. Sayeth the AP, "No charges have been filed but both lanes of traffic remain closed while authorities remove the cookies."

We're imagining a highway just totally covered in double-stuffs—a dramatic cookie bacchanalia one has to snack their way out of— but looking at video of the scene tells a much duller story. Alas, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Ho, ho. [AP]
