Strange Stories: Eggnog Explosion

We discuss (with minimal egg-aggeration) the curious and combustible case of the eggnog explosion at a Totowa, NJ, pharma lab in August 2014. The blast tore through three stories and blew out the back of the building from a reported mechanical failure. We toast to the lives spared and only minor injuries.CW | TW: This episode discusses a vat of explosive eggnog, and, no, we haven’t drunk too much of the holiday or Christmas spirits.
