  2. And speaking of spicy situations, wait till you see this surreal scene that really dialed up the heat in Ohio.
  3. A truck hauling thousands of pounds of Frank's Red Hot sauce spraying a leak near Columbus, Ohio,
  4. turning one stretch of the highway into what looked like the world's biggest order of buffalo wings.
  5. I guess that stuff really does go on everything.
  6. Officials raced in to contain the crimson catastrophe.
  7. Environmental officials determined the spill wasn't toxic.
  8. But because it's highly acidic, crews had to keep the sauce from flowing into nearby storm drains.
  9. No word on how they cleaned it up, but there's a chance someone out there was probably asking, "Got any ranch dressing?"
  10. Maybe even some, uh... Pepto Bismol?
