They say this is the only time. And look at these morons in the comments (naturally) saying that she's not black. You can cancel the harmless but racist Uncle and Aunt, but not herrrrrr! She's white! You faggots better silence yourselves but i feel like no matter what you say they'll probably make her a POC.

What I find much more disturbing is that you can sell syrup that isn't actually maple syrup as such in the USA unless it's declared as organic. If you put it on the label it should be what it is you're buying!

Went to Canada once and tried the maple syrup. It was actually good and didn't leave a bitter taste. It's just not the same here.

Fucked up eh? Most maple syrup here is corn syrup and sugar formed together. It also is more like molasses by how thick it is when real maple syrup is more watery.

Aunt Jemima Original syrup starts as you may have expected: with sugar—corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, to be exact. That sounds like a repeat, but the two ingredients are distinct. Corn syrup is a syrup made from corn starch and is 100 percent glucose. It’s used to soften texture of a product, prevent crystallization of sugar, and to enhance flavors. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a liquid sweetener and preservative also made from corn starch, but it has been processed to convert some of its glucose to fructose. It has also been linked to contribute to myriad health concerns like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Aunt Jemima Original also contains cellulose gum (known as carboxymethylcellulose), which is made by combining cellulose, a carbohydrate which comes from wood pulp or cotton lint, with an acid. While it will typically be used in highly processed foods, the FDA considers it a safe food additive for improving the texture of a product.

Caramel color, most commonly used to dye sodas brown, is another ingredient in Aunt Jemima syrup. It’s made from food-grade carbohydrates and acids, and is safe to consume as long as it has lower than FDA-regulated amounts of lead, arsenic, and mercury—which doesn't exactly make me feel any better about eating the stuff. Certain varieties of caramel color can contain 4-methylimidazole, a potentially carcinogenic chemical.

The syrup is further preserved with sodium benzoate and sorbic acid to prevent the syrup from spoiling on the store shelf, and sodium hexametaphosphate, a thickener.

Finally, Aunt Jemima syrup also contains water, salt, and unnamed “natural and artificial flavors.”

Yup, absolutely fucked up. Maple syrup here always says on the bottle that it's "organic" and I would joke how that's bullshit. Like, no shit! What else would it be? Then I learned about your fucked up burger shit.
Yes, actual maple syrup if has a pretty low viscosity. It's also very delicious. Sweet, sure, but also very savoury.
That you can call something maple syrup that isn't maple syrup just blows my mind. That's just a plain lie. and should be forbidden by consumer law.

You can get the real maple syrup from places that bottle it in Vermont. You can also put some agave on instead--for the same price it tastes pretty damn good. And arguably healthier.
