Sarah and Maggie talk about a deadly molasses spill in 1919, and secreted mucus that keeps snails alive. But first they talk about a woman who has never ordered pizza and the takes are hotter than Little Caesar’s Hot ‘n’ Ready!
Want the full facts? Check ‘em out:
FACT: In January 1919, a tank holding nearly two and a half million gallons of molasses burst and covered the North End of Boston. This sticky situation was deadly, with the spicy syrup spilling through the streets at 35 miles an hour and reaching a tidal wave height of 15 feet. Twenty one people were killed and over 150 were injured. Houses and buildings collapsed. And the smell of molasses lasted years.
REACT: A molasses spill in Boston in 1919 was deadly, took years to clean up, and knocked down houses. How would you clean up molasses?
FACT: Snails depend on moisture to survive. And, if the weather is less than ideal, they cover themselves in secreted mucus and can nap for up to three years waiting for moisture conditions.
REACT: Snails can sleep up to three years if the weather is bad. What's a condition you would escape with a nap?
Plus Sarah and Maggie test their psychic abilities to guess the word the other is thinking.
What do you think? Would you like to cover yourself in secreted mucus and nap for a few years? Let us know!
