Munchies lead to supermarket destruction and expensive car insurance
A severe case of the munchies has led to cataclysmic devastation and the loss of an American man's right to cheap young driver car insurance.
The man, who police have not yet named, had spent a Fear and Loathing-style day consuming a concoction of mind-altering drugs and stimulants in New York's Brooklyn. Halfway through the night he had a sudden urge to eat and so, finding his cupboards bare, staggered into his car and headed for the nearest 24-hour grocery store.
Risking the lives of innocent motorists by driving like a loon and invalidating his motor insurance in the process, the drug-addled man finally arrived at Giant Eagle, a local late-night supermarket. But instead of parking outside like any normal human being, maybe picking up a trolley and perusing the aisles, this stoner had different ideas.
Deciding he couldn't wait any longer for his burgers, chocolate bars and cans of Dr Pepper, he revved up his Ford Focus and smashed through the front of the shop. Tins of beans were sent careering through the air and women abandoned their shopping baskets as they fled in terror.
Totally destroying the home baking and frozen meat aisles, the car finally came to rest in the dairy section, splattered with yoghurt and dripping with ice-cold milk. After all his efforts, however, the drugged-up driver didn't even bother to get out to make his purchases, but passed out and began to snore like a freight train.
Shocked shoppers called the emergency services and within minutes the police arrived and arrested the druggie, vowing to charge him following the completion of toxicological and psychiatric reports.
Mike Page from Hoot Car Insurance Services, expert providers of young driver car insurance, commented on the case, saying, "It's amazing that nobody was hurt.
"There's no excuse for taking drugs and driving, and anybody caught doing so is likely to be dealt with strictly by the courts, as well as lose any future right to get cheap car insurance."
