Runaway Cow Stops Traffic In Indiana Before Heading On Over To Chick-Fil-A In Bizarre Viral Video
When traffic comes to a standstill, that's hardly news. Often, it's the cause of the back-up that people are interested in.
A cow became the focus of attention as it brought traffic to a standstill. The loose bovine was on the run from police.
In Noblesville, Indiana a video taken by a couple in their car went viral as they filmed a runaway cow. The cow cuts across traffic, attempting to get to freedom.
One of the people in the car can be heard saying,
"Who loses a cow in Noblesville?"
The commenters were blown away by the cow running to freedom.
Though the cow cuts across traffic, stopping many cars, the passengers in the video can be heard laughing. The cow is very determined to get wherever they plan to go.
Noblesville Police were in pursuit to capture and protect the free running animal, but cops can be scary.
Maybe that's why the cow went to its nearest sanctuary.

In a move that couldn't have been better planned as an advertisement, the cow tries to escape to a shopping center with a prominently featured Chik-Fil-A restaurant.
The Chik-Fil-A brand is known for its chicken sandwiches and ads which show cows encouraging you to eat there, presumably because it means they might not be eaten.
While we can't be one hundred percent sure this wasn't a promo for the brand, if so, it's unbelievably well excuted.
Minus the cops, of course.
@ABC How does the officer write up THIS officer-involved incident? I don’t think his handcuffs will work! Does he have a lasso handy ?!? 🐄— Lori Maier (@Lori Maier) 1552868254.0

Cows have had it pretty good, and not just escaping from the cops to grab a chicken sandwich. Last month, they got their own Tinder-like service to find matches for breeding.
It's good to be a cow.
Small towns make for the best stories, don't they? The ability of a small group of people to close ranks and pretend nothing happened is mystifying. See, I grew up in Manhattan - where there was no way small town style secrets were happening. We may not snitch to any authorities, but we absolutely know and we absolutely talk about it while we're in line to get a slice. New Yorkers know, we just tend not to care. We don't have time to judge or keep secrets for generations - we're busy checking the MTA to see where the f*@! our train is at.
Small towns, though... that's where the secretive magic happens. One Reddit user asked:
Whats a small town dark secret you know?
Get your popcorn, folks. There's enough murder and mayhem in here for a Tarantino film; and Satan makes an appearance more than once! Here are some of the more popular responses.
Cooking a really great meal doesn't have to be complicated. Sure, binge-watching Chopped has us all convinced we need vaccuum sealers, ice cream machines and an anti-griddle, but some of the best recipes in the world are actually just a few really good ingredients put together simply. Like guacamole! Yeah, you can get fancy on it but a classic recipe really only calls for avocado, tomato, onion, salt and lime juice. It's so simple that it's almost impossible to screw it up.
Almost.
One of the biggest downfalls of simple foods is how easy it can be to screw it up. Imagine picking up sugar instead of salt for that guac recipe. Now you've got an onion and avocado dessert paste that nobody wants. My mom has salted her coffee and sugared her eggs more times than I can count. And as a Puerto Rican, I can assure you messing up the rice might as well be the end of any meal. It won't matter how good anything else is.
One reddit user asked:
What is an easy way to f*ck up a simple meal?
Screwing up the rice was one of the first answers - so I feel pretty culinarily vindicated right now. Here's that answer, along with quite a few other kitchen horror stories. Long story short: check your labels, check your heat, read the directions and try to stay at least KIND OF sober. Cooking usually involves knives and fires, after all.
