FB Responses To The Crash Of A Cheese Truck

The truck carrying cheese rolled over

Cheese was spilled all over

There was a Facebook post recently which had a news story from KUTV 2 News in Salt Lake City. The title of the article was: “It ‘gouda’ been worse: Bee sting leads to cheese truck crash along the highway.” The original story was by KOMO News Staff on April 15, 2021.

A semi-truck that was carrying cheese overturned along the Columbia River Gorge in Washington state. The driver had left Idaho and was heading to Tillamook, Oregon. He blamed the crash on a bee sting.

The truck went off the shoulder and against a guardrail before it headed down an embankment and rolled over. Some cheese was scattered on the road and down the embankment. The driver was not hurt.

The article stated: “Troopers removed all the cheese “DeBrie” from the road and were able to reopen the lanes though there is quite a mess to clean up along the road that could take up to two days.”

People on Twitter and Facebook shared puns about the incident. Here are a few from Facebook (changed slightly):

Heard all the buzz about the driver receiving a stinging rebuke. He is lucky to brie alive. Assume a different driver curd take his place. This is starting to grate on me. Ricotta get going.

Hope the holey cheese makes it to the Garden of Edam.

A bee sting caused it? The truck must have been carrying swiss cheese because there are a lot of holes in the story.

Looks like they will need a pepper jack to lift that truck up.

I don’t have the havarti to make a buzz about this.

He feta start looking for a new line of work.

I wonder if he had Parmesan to drive that truck.

Guess he’s not bringing home the cheddar after all.

These puns are un-bee-lievably cheese-y.

This post is cheesy enough without the puns.

All puns aside, what was he hauling cheese to Tillamook for? It’s a town primarily based on dairy products including cheese.

Crashes and accidents are no laughing matter, but life needs laughter in it to be more enjoyable. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the accident, and people could joke about it.

People enjoyed thinking of cheesy things to say about the incident.
