10,000 Gallons of Molasses

By Miss Cellania in Everything Else on Jan 24, 2009 at 1:15 am

In a story reminiscent of the Great Boston Molasses Flood, 10,000 gallons of cattle feed, consisting mostly of molasses, spilled out of a tank owned by Performance Plus, a business in Twin Falls, Idaho.

The molasses substance seeped into an auto repair business and an adjoining trailer park after leaking from a storage tank.

General manager of Performance Plus Matt Beed says the company has hired a backhoe contractor to clean up the molasses. Clean up could take up to two weeks.

    I bet that stank. Molasses + whatever + auto repair grease + trailer park scorn = stank.

    “Clean up could take up to two weeks.”
    So clean up is going to be as slow as molasses. >_<

    Actually where I come from, Molasses is intentionally spilled on dirt roads during the dry season to control dust wafting into surrounding homes.
