Sensible Erection | Mrs. Butterworth must have an alibi

Saturday, 1 September 2012

quote [ The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers said late Thursday that during a routine inventory check at a facility that stores some 10 million pounds of syrup, inspectors discovered barrels had been emptied and reported "missing a large quantity of maple syrup."

Quebec produces about 75% of the world's maple syrup. Despite the theft, the federation said there would be no immediate impact on world-wide syrup supply. ]

Somewhere, someone is eating a lot of pancakes.

Most syrup is actually sugar water (more likely HFCS these days) with maple flavoring added. The real stuff is about $12 for a bottle at Costco.

But it is so worth it.

Which is why the article says "maple syrup," and not "sugared artificial water."

I bring a bottle with me back to Europe when I visit home. The things they put on pancakes in the Netherlands ... ugh.

All you need on top of pancakes is butter and honey.

I suppose it depends on how passionate you are about maple syrup...

I'm very sorry about this, but your comment necessitates a formal declaration of war. Our army will attend at your house as soon as airfare can be budgeted.

UNDER FUCKING RATED.

actual, factual maple syrup is like delicious amber sex on pancakes.

Fake maple syrup is a blend of HFCS and an herb called fenugreek, which they sell in concentrated little capsules because it increases lactation. It also makes you sweat more, and your sweat will smell like fake maple syrup if you consume enough of it.

That's at least 30 millions CAN$ worth of maple syrup.

Quadruple that amount at retail price.

10 million pounds of syrup? I though Canada was on the dollar.

Sorry.

You are correct, it should more accurately state 4.5 Million Kilograms, but hey, it's the WSJ

Calls to the Fernandez family home in Queens rang unanswered.

I always marvel at the uncaring stupidity of the press. Why are the calling a grieving family? What were they going to ask the Fernandez family? Hey, how are you guys doing?
