Not to be outdone, the Oakmont Bakery is getting in on the fun!
Also, for those who are more into wearing pop culture, there are shirts on Amazon.com featuring "The Mother of Jagoff Potholes" and a graphic of the bus. Another one features a picture of the scene with the wording "my ride fell through."
Additionally, the more creative yinzers found a way to incorporate the bus in the sinkhole as a Halloween costume.
Amanda Lee Glassware in Oakmont is jumping on the bus, too, with some new products.
