BERLIN (Reuters) - A small pile of leftover jelly discarded beside the road after a wedding party caused a large-scale security alert in Germany with biochemical experts, firemen and police called in to investigate.
"Passers-by called police after finding a pool of a flabby red, orange and green substance on the roadside," a police spokesman in the eastern town of Halle told Reuters on Monday.
Fears of toxic waste led to the closure of a wide area after the emergency call on Sunday,
and experts wearing chemical warfare suits spent two hours examining the gelatinous substance before deciding that it was -- jelly.
"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. :laff:

It´s all Hollywoods fault. They make the world believe all poisonous substances gotta be green or red, best with a slight glow.
Curse you Radioactive Man.

Maybe the one calling the police about this should had taken a risk and tasted the 'potentially toxic substance'. :p
