Truck full of Axe body spray explodes, becomes the internet’s favourite joke

Well, this one almost writes itself.

A truck carrying a load of Axe body spray, which is called Lynx in Australia, exploded on a highway in Texas, US last week.

According to a report from WDRD, the interstate at Belton was shut down for more than eight hours after a semi caught fire and exploded.

Amazingly, no one was hurt.

Cans were scattered over the highway, prompting one heck of a clean up job.

As you can see from the video above, it was pretty grim.

Of course, when you’re talking about the scent that embodies that stereotypical 14-year-old boy who thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips, there were jokes to be had.

There were so many chimes, the story became a Twitter Moment, with all the zingers compiled into one, handy thread.

Look, we could go on forever, but we might cap it there.

All we can say is that we’re thrilled we were half a world away from that highway.
