”The sugar placed into the water makes it vicious,”

I can’t really argue with that. But it also makes it viscous.

Didn't catch that when I was cutting and pasting. Good observation.

I actually have a very traumatic experience with a similar situation. A guy was patching cracks in his driveway by heating up tar in a 5 gallon bucket using a brush burner.

Some water had gotten into the tar and it exploded all over him. The burning tar burned his clothes off. His sister tried to cover him with a polyester blanket. It caught on fire as well. It was a horrible sight. On the way to the hospital in the back of the ambulance... he kept asking if he was going to die. And we kept assuring him that he would be alright, but everyone knew that he didn't have a chance. He survived a couple of days in the hospital.
