Of all the places to have an accident. Luckily, it happened in photoshop world, not in the real world. That is the first time I have seen the banner advertisement painted on the top of a truck.

How often do you see the top of a truck though?

Could be so that air traffic can see to keep out of the airspace above the Mentos lorry in case of a crash with a Coca-Cola lorry?

Whenever you cross a highway on a pedestrian bridge, or look down on the city from a high rise building.
"Google Earth" your favourite truck stop, or 41°37'8.32"N, 90°46'46.02"W.

I did 10 years in Devonport, 15 Mm, WSW of there.

The only thing I see painted on the top of the trailers is the company initials and a trailer ID number, and those are very sparse. I guess that makes it possible for security services to follow critical loads on the highway from a helicopter.

That hurts just looking at the picture. Twice now (over my lifetime) the soldering iron slipped -- maybe the cord getting caught on my elbow or something on the lab bench -- and to keep it from rolling off the table, or onto my lap, I grabbed it, but unfortunately I grabbed it in the wrong place. You would think once would be enough for me to permanently learn. But here we are.
