What seems to be tons of of cans spilled all around the freeway, spreading tacky goodness throughout each lanes and masking the highway in cheese. Understandably, the spill introduced site visitors to a halt till the unfold might be cleaned up. However how do you clear up a nacho cheese spill if there’s no Santitas truck within the space?

Apparently, you simply scoop all of it off the freeway and cope with the mess later.
