BELTON, Texas (WDRB) -- A semi fire shut down a Texas interstate Friday morning.
Officials in Belton, Texas say the truck carrying Axe body spray caught fire about 4 a.m. on Interstate 35. The fire quickly spread and ignited the body spray.
Cans of the spray exploded and launched from the truck scattering debris across the interstate.
No one was injured in the fire. But the interstate was shutdown for more than eight hours for the cleanup.

(2,684 posts)The current smell of high schools is vanilla or peppermint or whatever the current jelly-bean flavor in vogue with manly teenage boys nursing their foolish and entirely self-inflicted addiction to vape-provided nicotine.
Gad, some of the teenagers make part of my classroom unbearable, they so reek of the smell of toddler candy or 8-year-old-girl "perfume".
At least there's odorless nicotine, so they can get feed their addiction without offending others. Sadly, they're already addicted, guaranteeing some fashionable purveyor of nicotine income for many years to come, unable to go a few hours without a hit.

(53,395 posts)Those damn Juul drug dispensers use a modified form of nicotine thats even more addictive than the kind in natural tobacco. Its almost meth-like in its addictive powers, and regular nicotine is already extremely addictive.
AND the Juul is the choice of todays idiot teen.
