A hazmat team closed off a section of Halle, Germany on Monday after a pile of gelatinous goo was discovered on the side of a roadway. It turned out that the mysterious matter was leftover Jell-O dumped after a party. From Reuters:
"The fire brigade always has to assume a worst-case scenario," said a fire brigade spokesman. "We conducted a variety of tests and figured out it was jelly."
He said the newly wed groom, who was pulled out of bed at noon following a tipoff, confirmed that the jelly, known as Jell-O in the United States, was a party leftover — and agreed to clean it up.
