Patchoulia Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Sometime last year, I'm not sure when, a container of molasses, living in a basket on top of my fridge, began to leak. I'm not sure of the circumstances that preceded this unnatural kitchen disaster, only the result: a Molasses Slick on the floor behind the fridge.Molasses, as I'm sure you're aware, is a dangerous, sometimes deadly, substance, characterized by its extreme stickiness. One need look no further than "Boston's Great Molasses Flood of 1919" to understand the destructive power of molasses.In my case, I just need to clean it up. But I'm having a really hard time. Scrubbing utensils (i.e. rag or sponge or mop) and cleaning products seem to be no match for the immovable sugary river mocking me from behind my fridge.Has anyone else ever experienced a molassestastrophe? Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister slippery Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I have no tips, but your post was brilliantly written, and I quite enjoyed reading it.Good luck. :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 This happened to me once. I peed on it and let that shit soak it up overnight. Came right off in the morning with a little soapy water and no smell because the pungency of the molasses masked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) get a frozen icepack - cover it in saran wrap and set it on the molasses spill. In 5 mins it will harden a bit and you can use a scraper of sorts to get the worst of it off. Then you can spray what's left with a cleaner/degreaser and let it sit for 5 min, wipe it off and there ya go!...wait a minute...yer leaving your place right? fuckit! put a doily on it.

Maybe you can get the "you're going to love my nuts" guy to market it for you..."Booche's urine. Spray it, drizzle it, slosh it on - no stain is too great for BOOCHE'S URINE! This piss is gold, on more than one level." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I've tried willing the molasses off the floor from both lying AND sitting positions with no luck at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Shit, maybe that's why it didn't work....no that's because you were lying outside smearing dog feces on yourself and trying to will it off...the neighbor had to put his cat down after what it went through, remember?

Velvet Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I heard an "expert" the other day (I think it was the CBC) say that you can find out if you're hydrated enough by checking your urine. He said you are looking for how clear your pee is, the lighter the better.He mentioned that the standard is you should be able to read a newspaper through your urine. That has been bugging me ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 That's interesting, Todd...when I was growing up in Dryden, during my teenage years, a declaration was put forth at a party/camping night: NO ONE LEAVES HERE TIL THEIR PEE RUNS CLEAR!!!Actually, that's kind of a nonsequitor, vis a vis this thread, though it is on topic.
