Doughnut glaze leaking from tanker truck

[PatGund]

Source: Seattle Times



"A tanker truck loaded with doughnut glaze lost control and rolled over on Pacific Highway South this afternoon, oozing sugary syrup into a nearby culvert.

A Washington State Patrol spokeswoman said the truck overturned along southbound Pacific Highway South at South Kent Des Moines Road at 4:17 p.m.

Only minor injuries were reported and the truck driver declined transport by ambulance.

The State Department of Transportation was called to help clean up the leaking doughnut glaze."

27. I think he's on a diet.......

Just watched KO roasting Limpy on a hot fire for something he said on his radio program. KO's bouncing Limpy looks larger than the Limpy shown in that video clip.

Either Limpy had a breast reduction or he's laying off the fast food. So I reckon the DOT's gonna have to call in a crew to clean that mess up :rofl:

7. Why is a tanker truck filled with doughnut glaze anyway?

I would think that any factory that makes doughnuts would be able to make their own glaze on site.

Seems incredibly cost inefficient, but what do I know

[FailureToCommunicate]

10. (I think "doughnut glaze" is just highbrow for 'sugar')

[bitchkitty]

13. Or something worse, like high fructose corn syrup. n/t

[kath]

23. Probably high fructose corn syrup mixed w/ trans fat.

yuck.

[CreekDog]

it's worse than that!

this is where it was before the truck:

[Liberal_in_LA]

28. So the glaze wasn't in containers inside the truck.. ewwwwww.

[LuckyLib]

31. Neither is your milk. That's how it's transported from farm to factory.

[Liberal_in_LA]

32. Oh...ok. ewwww.

[Ms. Toad]

38. I'm thinking I really don't want to eat any more

glazed doughnuts if the glaze is carried in a tanker truck . . . wonder what was previously carried in that tanker truck.

[create.peace]

41. this 'dump' may be a blessing in disguise!

every day we get passed on the highway (we drive slow) by tankers with all sorts of bulk food....a friend of ours used to drive the flour for pizza hut in a tanker, he said that if the tanker didn't get completely dried out that the flour would get moldy....he wouldn't eat their pizzas though he was not a real picky eater, like i am.

8. No cops (chips) on the scene yet!?? Or are California police only into healthy snacks?

[PatGund]

11. Well.....

It's Washington State Patrol, not California Highway Patrol.

But I understand WSP was ALL over it.......

[FailureToCommunicate]

40. Oops. I saw Pacific Hwy and thought Pacific COAST Hwy. Apologies to CHIPs et all

[ConcernedCanuk]

9. Many cops are gonna be unhappy about this

.
.
.

How can they enforce the law without their dough-nuts??

OMG

[Dakota Flint]

12. Oh the humanity!

That poor truck came to a sticky end......

[frog92969]

14. A chemical bath?

I'll bet nothing grows there for 30 years.

[IcyPeas]

21. Yeah, "doughnut glaze" yeah, that's what we'll tell them......

[frog92969]

29. No, I really WAS talking about doughnut glaze.

It's scary what they feed us.

[jmondine]

15. Maybe God thought Washington State was one big coffee cup for dunking

And really, who could blame her?

[droidamus2]

16. I bet

I bet there were more police officers there than at any accident in Washington history and they were all walking around saying, "I could swear I smelled donuts".

[Akoto]

17. Tastiest culvert ever. n/t

[dbonds]

18. Anyone hear Def Leopard?

'Pour some sugar on me"

19. First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women

[rzemanfl]

20. Don't Manhattan and Berlin figure in here somewhere? n/t

[Politicalboi]

22. Don't worry

Cheif Wiggams got this.

[Stuckinthebush]

24. That's a sticky situation

I'm sure the rescue workers' eyes were glazed over when they saw that mess!

[Duer 157099]

25. Well maybe the bees in the area will be happy?

Or the flies. Or wasps (ew). Oh, and the hummingbirds, they'll really like it. So I suppose it could be worse.

[TheMickster]

26. wow

There are going to be millions of happy ants.

[WestSeattle2]

33. with diabetes.....n/t

[WestSeattle2]

34. "and in related news, hordes of cops were seen racing to the

scene".....gotta love it.

[Doremus]

30. Happy raccoons, mice and possums tonight! Woo hooo! ;)

[Tesha]

35. Warch out for this guy when he gets a "sugar high"!

[PSzymeczek]

36. Sweet!

:rofl:

[RandomThoughts]

37. Seattle, including south Seattle

Is so great even our environmental spills are just sweet sugary donut covering. :P

[Canuckistanian]

39. Seriously, they transport doughnut glaze in tanker trucks?

Is fucking everything made by the TON in our society?

[xxqqqzme]

44. This is insane.

Glaze is so easy to make, it's just powdered sugar, water & vanilla. I make it whenever I make cinnamon rolls. Why does there need to be a tanker truck transporting the stuff? I mean who makes millions of dough-nuts that they need that much glaze?

[joshcryer]

46. Mass production.

It makes things incredibly cheap.

[Fearless]

42. Mmm donuts...

[jmondine]

45. Ah, that explains all of the hyperactive banana slugs
