MEMernet: Alfredo Spill, Blinker Fluid, and Wanda’s Vacation

Memphis on the internet.

“Saucy Situation”

The MEMernet was obsessed last week with the truck accident that spilled enough Bertolli alfredo sauce to temporarily close I-55. Coverage quotes from FOX13’s Kate Bieri went viral, including a tweet from The New York Times that read: “Unfortunately this is Memphis, and we had some pretty intense sun beating down on that alfredo sauce, and also humidity. It was just not a great recipe for a highway full of alfredo sauce.”

Blinker Fluid

“We had a driver that didn’t immediately stop yesterday because they said that they didn’t see our blue lights,” Bartlett Police Department said on Facebook last week. “This morning we topped off all the blue light blinker fluid to make us easier to see.”

Back from Vacation

Complaining of long wait times, calling her the “Ted Cruz of Memphis,” and laughing at her defensive “don’t be disrespectful” news conference, Memphis Redditors piled on Shelby County Clerk Wanda Halbert last week.
