National Molasses Bar Day celebrates the sweet, nutty cookie like cakes that are a favorite winter treat. Of course, not everything about molasses is sweet. Take The Great Boston Molasses Flood.
During January of 1919 molasses played an catastrophic (rather than sweet) role in the history of Boston.
