    Same with "maple syrup" which the Mafia has a lot of control.
    They cut real maple syrup with corn syrup and sell it as 100% real maple syrup.
    In my opinion, fake maple syrup tastes better than real maple syrup.
    Good examples of what the mafia sells tastes like, is cheap pancake syrup, such as Aunt Jemima or Log Cabin pancake syrup.

    Perfect example of the unintended consequences of the folly of a "stay at home" policy. The net effects of the policy are far worse than the disease itself.

    Fake honey is on the market too. Much of that is made in China. Mix a tiny bit of real honey with rice syrup and sell it as 100% real honey. That stuff is made by corrupt business people, not the Mafia.

    Please tell me it ain't so. Corrupt business people putting profits over ethics and morals.
    Next you are going to tell me the Easter Bunny isn't coming this year....

    They beat The National Enquirer to that one. The comments section is more entertaining than the story. No way is Aunt Jemima fake syrup. Although Mrs Buttersworth is much better syrup. Aunt Jemima pancake mix, the add water only type, is the best. No comment on fake honey, except to say that I’ve hauled it from Louisiana to Pennsylvania , to be packaged and sold as “Amish” honey. I Guarantee!

    You're right, they,re not fake syrup. Crooks mix pancake syrup and other types of cheap syrup, with honey and sell it as 100% honey. That's what I meant.

    That’s downright wrong. I hope it’s not the little honey bears, I’d hate to think my honey bear honey is corrupted. 100% clover honey is the best. Further investigation is on my list, soon as the pandemic is over. It could be a while, I’ve already got a loooong list. Lol
