3. This is the 3rd time I’ve seen these. Although a friend said he “really saw one of these trucks on the highway in Kansas!”, I find it VERY hard to believe (especially since the trucks have German words). Each of the trucks is shown from the exact same point of view. Pay close attention to the background. The shadows underneath each truck are identical. Amazingly the tree branches are exactly the same. These had to be photo shopped. Fun but fake.

4. Oh, there’s no question about it. They’re fake. It’s the same truck. I’m just not sure if these were parts of a Photoshop contest, pieces in someone’s portfolio, or a vision of a more visually interesting German highway system.

   Someone said Worth1000. I’ll ask. Want to give credit where it’s due.

5. Quite old — I saw these first a year or two ago.

   Snopes has a page on it (that I apparently can’t post) — they were part oif an ad contest. The Pringles and the Pepsi won.

6. All:

   I believe they are for real.

   I have lived in Germany for many years and have seen many similar ones. They aren the same truck, but the same brand of truck. The cab on the one comming at you appears to be a M-A-N. They were taken from the same position. From the background it looks like it may be from an Army base. It looks like it even coud be from a base in Mannheim. There are several along Autobahn 6.
