If you came across a massive black bear raiding the back of a truck for food, what would you do? For one man in Tennessee, there was only one thing to do—start yelling and screaming at it while recording a video. (We just hope he had bear spray.)

“Dear Florida Tourist, I ran off the bear from your truck,” wrote Mike Rohan in an Instagram post sharing the video. “Please make sure you don’t have any @thereallittledebbie Christmas Trees in the back of your truck in the future. Fun fact: Little Debbie Christmas Trees is catnip to Black Bears. Also I swore, I’m sorry but officially black bears respond to swear words more than any other words . . . It’s science.”

Rohan doesn’t explain how he knew the bear was eating Little Debbie Christmas Trees (maybe he saw the packaging after the bear left), but his point stands no matter what type of food the bear was eating. When in bear country, don’t leave food unsecured.
