You know what I like....the humor might really help someone calm down during a stressful drive in possibly dangerous conditions. Either that or distract someone enough to crash.

Many big cities use a combination of beet juice and salt. In fact, a sugar beet molasses-based product called "Beet Heet" that increases rock salt’s ice melting capacity when the two are mixed. The mixture helps rock salt melt ice below its 15-degree limit, according to Beet Heet distributors, and helps municipalities melt larger amounts of ice and clean up snow more quickly. It is also sticky, preventing salt rocks from bouncing off of the road as cars drive past.

The Scottish Government track their gritters and most of them have funny names, such as:

GANGSTA GRANNY GRITTER PLOUGHER O' SCOTLAND SNOWKEMON GO

Amongst others. Pretty cool.
