Sadly, I've met people that actually enjoy fake maple syrup more than the real stuff. To the point of actually disliking real maple syrup because "it doesn't taste like the thing" that they'd been eating since childhood.
- strken 4y agoThat's not sad, that's great! They're paying less than you for an equivalent level of enjoyment, so good for them.
- yonaguska 4y agoGreat point. It still makes me sad because I've unscientifically concluded that maple flavored corn syrup is unequivocally much worse for your health, on the basis that I want to justify still eating maple syrup and choose to believe that it's actually not the worst thing I could be eating, so it's ok to have it. This same unfounded belief has helped me curb my sweet tooth, as I no longer order pancakes or french toast, anytime I eat out, working at a fancier restaurant showed me that they all mostly use the exact same several gallon jugs of maple flavored syrup.

- blowski 4y agoHow very post-modern. Jean Baudrillard would have been delighted.
- samatman 4y agoEver since I found out that the main artificial maple-syrup flavor is a fenugreek derivative, I think of it as fenugreek syrup. Never liked it, but now I like it less. And I like fenugreek.
