Outsiders hit I-40, I-24, or I-65 in Tennessee thinking it’ll be a peaceful Southern road trip.
Ten minutes later their soul is floating somewhere above the Smoky Mountains.
One lane suddenly disappears into downtown Nashville.
Another turns into a construction zone that’s apparently existed since 2007.
And the GPS keeps calmly saying “stay right” while six pickup trucks merge like it’s NASCAR
Meanwhile:
• somebody in a lifted Silverado is doing 92 through pouring rain like hydroplaning is a myth
• a tourist pulling a camper just accidentally missed the Gatlinburg exit and started a family crisis 😭
• one Altima with expired tags is weaving through traffic like it owes money across three counties
• and there’s always somebody towing a bass boat at terrifying confidence levels
Tennessee drivers?
Completely unfazed.
Sweet tea in one hand.
Buc-ee’s cup in the cupholder.
Navigating chaos like they personally helped design the interstate system.
The outsider?
White-knuckling the steering wheel…
missing exits…
hearing “rerouting” every 45 seconds…
and realizing this isn’t just traffic…
It’s a Tennessee driving survival simulation!
Especially when:
• Nashville traffic suddenly stops for absolutely no reason
• Knoxville drivers appear out of nowhere doing fighter-jet lane changes
• Chattanooga construction cones start causing emotional trauma
• and mountain fog near the Smokies makes the whole interstate look like a country song album cover
Meanwhile somebody in a Tennessee Volunteers hoodie is still casually doing 80 with zero concern for earthly consequences.
Welcome to Tennessee — where the highways are chaotic, the scenery is beautiful, the weather changes every 20 minutes, and every road trip somehow turns into a story.

@SullenSerf Distasteful on both accounts. Just take them both down and apologize be better people.

SNL will never be as great as it once was.

Like that time Chris Farley accidentally ended up as a contestant on a Japanese game show hosted by Mike Myers. 😂

@d_tao Did it go through charcoal? If not it can be a bourbon if it did it is a TN Whiskey.

This guy spent $3,140 on chocolate pudding and got 1.25 MILLION free airline miles

His name is David Phillips and in May 1999 he was a 35 year old civil engineer at UC Davis when he spotted a Healthy Choice promotion

It was offering 500 frequent flyer miles for every 10 product barcodes mailed in, doubled to 1,000 miles if you mailed them in by May 31

He did the math on the cheapest Healthy Choice product he could find

Individual chocolate pudding cups were on sale at his local Grocery Outlet for 25 cents each, meaning $2.50 of pudding could buy him 1,000 airline miles

The airlines themselves valued those miles at around $20

He drove a van from store to store across California with his mother in law, cleaned out 10 different Grocery Outlets around the Sacramento area and ended up with 12,150 pudding cups stacked from his garage to his living room

When suspicious cashiers asked what he was doing he told them he was "stocking up for Y2K"

The early bird deadline was 3 weeks away and there was no way he could peel that many barcodes alone, so he called the Salvation Army and proposed a trade

He would donate all 12,150 cups if their volunteers peeled the labels off first

This donation also got him an $815 federal tax write off on top of everything

He mailed the barcodes in by the deadline and then heard absolutely nothing back for 2 months

His friends told him corporations always get out of promotions like this and his kids even started asking him if he got scammed

Then a giant package showed up at his door with paper certificates worth 1,253,000 frequent flyer miles, which made him a lifetime AAdvantage Gold member at American Airlines and was worth around $150,000 in flights

The Wall Street Journal put him on the front page in January 2000 and the London Times wrote about him a week later

Over the next 5 years he flew his entire family to 43 countries, and in 2002 director Paul Thomas Anderson loosely based the movie Punch Drunk Love on him

Adam Sandler made a movie about him and he paid for the ticket with pudding

@ThrillaRilla369 16 dollars make it 90 total. If it was great food and service make it an even 100.
