It’s been a weird couple of days for highway crashes in the USA. First, over 150,000 tomatoes spilled out onto a highway in Vacaville, California between the Bay Area and Sacramento. Then a few hours later and on the other side of the country, a truck carrying Alfredo Sauce spilled over in Memphis, TN and covered the highway in pasta sauce.
Naturally, the Internet had jokes. Not because there were crashes, but because there was an unimaginable amount of Alfred Sauce spilled onto a highway. We’re talking so much sauce that it could probably be smelled from 50 miles away.
First: A Semi-Truck Full Of 150,000 Tomatoes Spills In California
A spillage of that scale on the highway is enough to set the Internet off with jokes but the day didn’t stop there. Just a few short hours later, a semi-truck on the other side of the country crashed. This time the truck was carrying an entire haul of alfredo sauce.

It’s a saucy situation – I-55 NB near Exit 11 is closed while crews clean up the Alfredo sauce fro the highway. #IsaidwhatIsaid #PlanAhead

One Twitter user chimed in with “Is it from Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe or Pizza by Alfredo? Cause there is a difference in both in quality of ingredients and overall taste.”

We finally have the answer to this: all of them.
If a big-rig truck carrying 150,000 tomatoes is travelling down the Interstate at 70 mph and it collides with another vehicle travelling at 80 mph. How many tomatoes will be crushed?

Two trucks crashing carrying pasta ingredients is absolutely a scene from a Looney Tunes cartoon. Without even looking it up, I’m 100% confident it’s happened before.

This man’s been sitting on this meme for years and it’s finally proved worthwhile. Kinda like that piece of wood that’s been sitting in your garage for years that you’ll probably never use but maybe you will so you can’t throw it away.

I’m genuinely curious what this crash did for the nation’s consumption of Alfredo Sauce. I wasn’t thinking about or craving Alfredo Sauce until I started writing about this and suddenly, it’s all I can think about. In fact, I can almost smell it in my house. Hopefully, I’m not having a stroke and I’m just craving Alfredo Sauce…
