Grease is a sewer system's worse nightmare. Coupled with yeast and you have, what a good friend of mine would call, a clusterfuckation.
Fairfax County, Virginia officials have been dealing with such an event for several years and once they found the culprit, the county filed a lawsuit to force the company responsible to pay for the necessary repairs.
Krispy Kreme says the county doesn’t have any proof the grease is theirs – despite the trail of poly tri-glycerides leading from the company’s plant in Lorton and therefore shouldn’t be responsible for the $1.9 million bill.
County officials meanwhile said the clogged pipes allowed raw sewage to escape onto the surface in several places.
If the grease can clog a sewer main, just think what it can do to your arteries.

Oh, thanks for that. I was much happier when I could enjoy a dozen donuts without this visual. ;-)
