An up close pic -
Loveland, CO seemed to have had a similar, but not as disastrous situation almost 30 years ago - http://www.reporterherald.com/news/loveland-local-news/ci_27538585/lovelands-sticky-situation-reaches-25-year-anniversary

(50,601 posts)Twenty tons of melted fat - chocolate is half fat, half sugar - is going to make the road slick as hair oil for a very long time until it wears off. I hope (1) the driver's okay, (2) everyone else is okay and (3) no one slides out in that crap before it wears off the road.

(50,601 posts)Thinking out loud, Id bring in a truckload of sand and a street sweeper, Dump the sand on the chocolate, then go over it with the sweeper to sand the chocolate off the road.

(38,458 posts)I NEED TO POINT THIS OUT...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. nothing to do with politics
2. No one was hurt or injured
3. No corruption of any kind
4. Minor accident.
5. Something everyone knows about ( chocolate )
6. Something most of us have seen ( a truck along the side of the road, truck not going, minor accident..just stuff on the road)
7. No one shooting at each other
8. It is not about ..SEX !!!
9. Relatively simple solution to the problem...(clean the mess up)
10 The police and the state workers handle the problem relatively easily.
11 THE STORY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH .........TRUMP OR ANY OF HIS GANG !!!!
