MOLASSES BAR DAY, NTL.
About Molasses Bar Day
National Molasses Bar Day is an unofficial food holiday in the United States. These sweet, nutty cookie like cakes 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. An immense storage tank filled with molasses collapsed and sent a wave of molasses through the city's historic North End. Twenty-one people, mostly immigrants and city workers, died and another 150 were injured.
Perhaps this day and its sweet treat might also be a reminder of that tract event nearly a century past.
