Contractors had a dairy big clean-up job on their hands early on Boxing Day, after responding to a report of a large cream spill on Waikato roads.<\/p>\n
The 10km-long slick reached between Te Awamutu and \u014chaup\u014d on State Highway 3 \u2013 a recipe for hazardous conditions for drivers.<\/p>\n
The road has now been cleared. But in an earlier warning to motorists, Waikato police urged them to “take extra caution to stop their journey going sour”.<\/p>\n
The post churned up a fever of puns:<\/p>\n
“Keep up the good work, you guys are legendairy \u2013 the cream of the crop”, one person commented.<\/p>\n
“The clean up crew will be milking the OT,” another said.<\/p>\n
One was certain the onion soup truck and chips trucks would be along next, while another remembered a strawberry punnet truck crash in the region years earlier, and predicted a pavlova truck crash could be next.<\/p>\n
