Here are eight other epic food spills that happened on freeways (or highways, as those crazy non-Southern-Californians call them) across the world. Much of the information for this list was provided by TruckSpills.com, a site dedicated to documenting "odd, strange, interesting, and unbelievable things spilled on the road by trucks." Yes, there is indeed a website for everything.
