(ST. ELMO, Ala.) - There may be a peanut shortage nationwide, but you wouldn't know it driving down Highway 90 in St. Elmo Tuesday afternoon.
People in the area say a truck hauling peanuts dropped its load near the St. Elmo Feed and Seed store, sending thousands of peanuts onto the highway for about a half mile.
It was a mad scramble to scoop up the peanuts. Some folks were looking for a snack, while several took more than a hundred pounds.
"We stopped at the store to get gas and they said no, a truck lost its load of peanuts, and we just started laughing. Everybody's out here grabbing peanuts, it looks like Mardi Gras," said Lisa Seymour.
The Alabama Department of Transportation is helping to clean up all the peanuts.
