My goodness, I pity the guy who made that phone call saying, “Relax, it’ll be there tonight.”

[Mrs.]

"He would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that meddling sniffing dog"😭

[seanevertts]

I'm pretty sure that driver was crying without even having to cut into one single onion.

[myanamatheney]

i’ve always wondered what if the driver had no idea that they weren’t actual onions.. like obviously he ain’t the king pin who had people package them, he’s just the driver 😂

[sizfhyb]

What a coincidence because I just bought a ton of meth and it turned out to be onions!! I'm pissed!!

[TheLongjohntim]

Have you raided the warehouse where he picked up those onions bet not.

[kevinsworld]

The "war on drugs" is a sham. Follow the money.

[Yoursoul]

Gotta admit. That's pretty smart. It probably would have been harder to spot if it was garlic or something since garlic smells way more than onion even when not cut.

[hoobiebooh]

WOW! No wonder Mamas been so energetic lately!! She made a fresh batch of spaghetti every day this week!!!

[aaronfarrell]

The question is how many times he made the trip successfully before being caught?

[joegug]

What if the driver had nothing to do with it ? I drove truck for years and half the time I didn’t know what I was hauling.

[marshallperez]

Just dismiss those charges off the drivers because he had no knowledge of those onions had this be honest about it..

[rickharrison]

“Hey bro, can I get a hit of that onion?”

[ariessmith]

So I'm guessing they were "white" onions

[amandasweatt]

Some stories just bring tears to your eyes.

[mattm]

Is that why I stayed awake for 3 days after making my mom’s famous French Onion Soup last week?

[seeharvester]

That Onion Meth really makes your eyes water.

[weariedmedal]

The driver probably didn't even know the drugs were in there

[justinborysenko]

Oh my gosh I was told a wall would stop smuggling but this was in a truck at the port? Im shocked

[nslouka]

First avocados, now onions? Somebody is trying to make some serious guacamole!
