A busy roundabout in Gloucester was closed when crates of milk were spilt from a lorry onto the road.
Gloucestershire Police took photos of the huge spillage, which partially blocked the road for several hours, and posted them on Twitter.
Social media users, however, failed to see the serious side of the incident, and instead used the opportunity to make incredible puns.
No point crying over spilled milk!
