    That’s too damn thick to be real maple syrup.

    What is this US corn syrup slop!?!? Blaspheme!

    Now that’s more like it!

      For taking pictures of advertising images … they often used brand new 10W30 motor oil … it looks thick and creamy and doesn’t soak into the food as quickly. And if you cooled down the oil for a while in the fridge, it comes out a lot thicker … or you could use a thicker grade oil

    For the non Canadians here… At some point in your life, get real Quebecois maple syrup. The old school in the tin can. It will change your life. But, fair warning, for evermore, whenever you go to a breakfast place with shite maple syrup you will be sad/angry/missing that tin of deliciousness.

      It sounds like something I should experience on my death bed

      That stack of pancakes in the meme has about 1/3 of what our kids would put on them. They should be drowning. Not to mention all over the beans, sausages eggs or whatever other sides.

      For those you are uninitiated, in the maple syrup producing regions of Quebec and Ontario, we buy it by the case. 12 half litre cans each. Or 1 litre bottles.

      It’s actually much healthier than corn syrup because it has a lot of dissolved mineral goodness that the trees pull out of the ground - calcium, zinc and iron.

      When I first moved from the west, my housemate’s romantic interest showed up with a case and opined that we were sickly westerners because we weren’t consuming syrup all winter. I’ve come round.

    “anybody here work in advertising or marketing?..” Bill Hicks saved my life with that bit, got me out of the industry, just as i had “made it”, making my first tv advert.

    now i just smell burned oil looking at that. (thanks @IninewCrow, genuinely)
