That’s wonderful so I want it to be true. Your comment is one of the top results on my search for more info!

I was also curious and couldn’t find anything at all backing this claim. Seems like a complete fabrication, as plausible as it sounds.

Moreover, molasses was shipped from America and not the other way around.

  • Maybe it was a Canadian rumor? I posted another link.

    Jumping Jehoshaphat! The stained glass window up front is a memorial to George Jehosephat Mountain, a British-Canadian Anglican bishop. It was installed in 1864 and was the first monument of its kind in Québec. “The window was made in England and shipped to Québec City in barrels of molasses to protect it from damage.” A sticky situation, indeed.
