You can't cry over spilled milk, but can you cry over spilled Greek Yogurt? Last night, a truck carrying 18 tons (36,000 pounds, 576,000 ounces, or 96,000 servings) of Chobani yogurt spilled onto Interstate 88 in Chenango when the driver "got on the ramp to Interstate 81 too fast. When it rounded a curve, the trailer slid over the embankment and spilled 36,000 pounds of yogurt on the shoulder and down the hillside," according to WBNG.
Clean up of the mess lasted through today—it required a pile loader!— and the lane only opened back up this afternoon.
The driver was cited for failure to reduce speed, improper lane use, and causing too many reckless puns.
