Toxic Waste Jelly causes total disaster!
The world has gone officially mad… The BBC reports that a substance that had been left by a roadside in Germany managed to escalate into a major alert after some crackpot decided it was toxic waste.
The situation got so out of hand that the fire brigade had to be called and after two whole hours inside protective suits, they managed to conclude that the substance was… jelly.

So, there you go… if you’ve ever worried about the safety of ear muffs, let that document be a testament to their safety!
