On Monday, a molasses pipeline (yes, that's a thing!) leaked 1,400 tons -- 233,000 gallons -- of molasses into Hawaii's Honolulu Harbor and it has turned into a killer mess with no quick solution.

I know what you're thinking. "A molasses spill? How bad could it be? Just make a bunch of biscuits!"

Well, let's get the "sticky situation" and "sweet sassy molassy" puns out of the way, because as silly as a molasses spill may sound, this is unfortunately turning into one of Hawaii's worst environmental disasters.

Thousands of fish, crabs, turtles, eels and other aquatic life are dead and more are expected to die as the plume of molasses is slowly oozing its way from the harbor and out to sea.

This is an incredible ecological mess!
