Figure of speech. Molasses is a thick, slow-running liquid that gets even thicker when it's cold.
The root of the saying dates back to January 15,1919 when an industrial tank of over 2 million gallons of molasses ruptured in Boston sending a wall of molasses rushing through the town at approximately 35 miles per hour, injuring over 150 and killing 21.
So those 21 people were truly slower than molasses in January.
