Drivers on I-83 in York County, Pennsylvania, got more than a traffic jam last week. A tractor-trailer crashed and spilled about 1,000 pounds of frozen hot dogs all over the highway. The road shut down, emergency crews scrambled to clean it up, and the Internet did what it does best: puns.

Once PennLive posted a video of the scene on Instagram, the quibble storm hit like a glizzard. One commenter summed it up neatly: “Looks like traffic was backed up for a foot long.” Another wrote, “Imagine you get a ‘hazard’ warning on your GPS and it turns out to be 50,000 hot dogs.”

From there, the comments spiraled into a full-blown sausage fest

“This feels like the most Pennsylvanian thing,” one user said. Another offered some culinary critique: “They’re probably still better than hot dogs from Wawa. See what I did there?”

“Glizzy’s Gone Wild,” one wrote. “To be frank, these are the dog days of August,” another added. 

Several mourned the waste, with one commenter saying, “My heart breaks for those hot dogs,” and another asking, “No one’s out there saving the dogs? We need a HERO.”

The condiment jokes came flying too. “Their driving didn’t cut the mustard,” one user quipped. “Good thing the authorities mustard a response,” said another.

“Gonna give a ‘ballpark’ estimate but that’s at least 500,000 weiners,” another guessed.

A few folks imagined what their pets would do at the scene. “Hang on…my dog would have that cleaned up in less than an hour.” And: “My dog just told me he’d be happy to help clean that up.”

The disaster even got a TV pitch. “Someone call the writers for It’s Always Sunny. I’ve got an idea.”

One got daringly political: “We got weiners all over the highway before Epstein files.”

There was one clear consensus in the comment section. As one user put it: “We could be here for days and days of bad puns.”

And judging by the feed, they weren’t wrong.
