Trucks transport all sorts of items all over the country, and occasionally there are spills. This has inspired a webpage called truckspills.com which contains several interesting spills (and some that are pretty gross). These are a few of my favorite:
 | 5,000 gallons of molasses |
 | Flour. Lots and lots of flour. They did not want to make paste, so they used brooms and leaf blowers to clean this up. |
 | Cash - An armored car lost bags of cash. People gathered the cash and some returned it. Others kept it. When counted, there was about $160,000 missing. |

Not too long ago a truck spilled loaves of Tillamook cheese coming down Cedar canyon. I heard of lots of people who drove up as soon as they heard about it, and scoured the canyon, making it home with 2 or 3 cheese loaves each. Not worth it for the cheese, but maybe it would have been worth it for the story.
First of all, I LOVE that movie (Bedtime Stories). These are interesting truck spills- while cleaning up the flour it would go up your nose & in your mouth and I would need to be honest & give ALL the money back, no matter how tempting it would be. Messy no matter what!
what a mess! i think i'd rather clean up the flour than the molasses. and that is a lot of money missing! i thought you were going to say it was all returned. ha!
