Eggnog explosion in NJ

[zwiebel]

A huge vat of eggnog has exploded in a Totowa, New Jersey building, demolishing an entire wall, shaking buildings that were up to a mile away, and injuring two. Five others working in the building at the time escaped unharmed.

'Workers were reportedly crafting a new recipe for the seasonal treat flavoring when it erupted.'

Sadly, there's not a trace of icky sticky yellow stuff in any of the photos I've seen. Sure seems to have gone off with a big bang though. Think I'll be sticking with the traditional recipe this Christmas.

It was a flavorings company, they were making eggnog flavoring (like you add to drinks, cakes, cookies, etc.). They are usually made with an alcohol base.
