Tomatogeddon

The truck's driver lost control and hit the center divide, dumping tomatoes across eastbound lanes. Four cars trying to drive through the sauce crashed into each other.

UPDATE: DAY TWO, ALFREDOGEDDON:

    Those cars should have had their tomato chains on.

    I've also been seeing scenes line this first-hand lately...  in Ohio.  Sometimes, I want to stop and pick a few up before they get broadly massacred.  (And one of these days, I will.)

    (The tomato is the state fruit of Ohio, even though we're not always so good at growing them here and according to the USDA, a tomato is a vegetable.)

      Back when the SF Bay area actually processed tomatoes, you could find little piles of tomatoes that fell overboard when an overloaded truck careened around a tight curve.   When biking on the country roads during harvest season I was tempted to find a fresh pile and take the good ones home to make a pot of sauce.

    At least it wasn't a truck full of banana peels.

    That's one way to make sun-dried tomatoes.

      In what form will the third and fourth horsemen will appear?  Next a truck loaded with basil will collide with another loaded with garlic to create the Pestoclypse.  Followed by a delivery van loaded with pecorino cheese running over some dude on a bike carrying a few kilos of peppercorns to complete the Cacio e Pepeclypse.

    It is apt that the US's La Tomatina happens on an interstate highway rather than a quaint rural village.

    Now we just need a truckful of lasagna to complete the meal. Teamsters, don't fail us now.
