It urged anyone who spotted the balls not to handle them and to contact authorities.
Besides the acids and bacteria, the balls also contained volcanic rock pumice.
The first batch of debris in October were at first mistakenly called "tar balls" but were later found to contain everything from cooking oil and soap scum molecules, to blood pressure medication, pesticides, hair, methamphetamine and veterinary drugs.
Sydney Water has reported that its water treatment plants are operating normally and that there were no known issues with waste systems in the city.

Hmmm...little balls of fecal material?
Reminds me of that little poem you used to see all the time on the walls of public restrooms...

Australia's balls aren't like my balls. Australia's balls are horrible, so sad. Mine are big beautiful balls! -- like no one's ever seen before! (typed in my best Trump voice LOL)

Those who write on bathroom walls;
Roll their poo in little balls.
Those who read these words of wit;
Eat those little balls of sh*t.
