USUALLY IN MIAMI IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF COKE

An overturned tractor-trailer has shut I-95 southbound in the area of Miami-Gardens Drive. All southbound lanes — including express lanes — are closed. We have learned it is a Coke truck — bottles and cans of Coke and Sprite are all over the highway.

(Thanks to Jeff Meyerson, who says "We're gonna need a lot more chips and dip.")

Having rode shotgun working on a Coke truck for a few months during the summer back in the days when Coke was affordable and Pepsi laced with aspirin was only an experimental drug, I can understand how setting up a display in the middle of a busy highway could beat out any nearby Pepsi display. You don't even know how many 'setting up of Coke displays' I was part of. Brings back memories of the day I dumped a hand truck stacked with cases of Coke on the supermarket floor. Cleanup on isle 7.

*I don't know how the soda displays are accomplished these days but back when I rode on a Coke truck the driver and I set up the store's Coke displays when we delivered. I later got a much better job as a bartender in a run down watering hole and with all my prior experience never spilled a single drink. The rest is history. Oh, you should see my resume.

Sometimes that "I'd like to buy the world a coke" thing gets out of hand.

Need more rum. A lot more.

Just pray to your god that a truck loaded with Mentos doesn' t roll-over at the crash scene.
