And there was also a tomato spill the other day in California. Something something Italian restaurant.
Back in '98, a truck carry rendered fat overturned on a major part of I75S in Cincinnati. It was closed for about 3 and a half days until P&G suggested using Dawn dish detergent – which did the job.
Maybe it might work there.

That’s not authentic alfredo sauce. Real alfredo sauce is made with just butter and parmesan cheese.
And there’s hamburger all over the highway in Mystic, Connecticut…

Am I the only one annoyed by the exclamation point on the lower third in that local news report? News reports are not supposed to emote. Not that local news stations in the US aren’t already dumpster fires of celebrity gossip, scare pieces on poisoned juice boxes, and breathless coverage of high speed chases, but still. That exclamation point. It rankles.

In my head it was a tanker truck full of alfredo sauce, glad the local reportage cleared that up!

They were simply taking a stab at humor. Excepting rags and tabloids, very few newsworthy disastrous incidents can be slipped by with exclamation points.
