I think that's my favorite part of the story... a molasses truck spilling in SUGAR LAND! Hahaha. Kind of like a septic tank truck spilling in New Jersey ;)

Probably did wonders for the local fly population too.

City of Sugar Land spokeswoman Pat Pollicoff told The Houston Chronicle the road was closed until midnight Thursday because of the coating of "healthy, all natural molasses."

Makes me want to go out and eat a road.

No need to call in HazMat... dump some flour, leavening and a few thousand eggs on it, spread it around and have an enormous molasses cookie by the end of the day!

I can't help it. The word makes me think of the back of a mole.

The smell of mole asses must have been nauseating.
