hahaha, I remember reading something on this when I was a kid. Entertaining, to say the least :beer: <- molasses

If only ther had been enough white bread and PB...so many tasty lives would've been spared.



Wait..that didn't come out right.

Reminds me of a book I read in elementary school, "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs".

A large molasses treacle tank burst and a wave of molasses ran through the streets at an estimated 35 mph (56 km/h), killing 21 and injuring 150. The event has entered local folklore, and residents claim that on hot summer days the area still smells of molasses.[1]

:shocked:

HAhaha they painted the tank brown to hide the leaks 😀

Interesting story. They had a somewhat similar thing happen to the Bundaberg Rum Distillery here in Australia. In 1939 the distillery caught fire from a lightning strike so to prevent a massive explosion they tipped the rum vats over and let the rum run all through the streets and into the nearby river. People were collecting the stuff in any sort of container they could find. I don't know what happened to the molasses they had there though, they have massive store houses that hold millions of litres of the stuff. It gets pumped into them underground from the sugar mill next door.
