Tricked!

Doesn’t this maple syrup look like a healthier, better for you, version of syrup?
I mean, look – there are woods in the drawing on the label and maple syrup comes from trees – right? And this company has been making this sticky stuff since 1889. Shouldn’t that imply quality?
Yeah, at least that’s what I thought when I saw it on the shelf at my local grocery store.
At breakfast I was reading the back label, something I should have done at the store I guess, and realized that it was just normal old-full-of-high-fructose-corn-syrup syrup. Shucks!
I was tricked by a nice label.

    The color is too dark though. Was the bottle plastic or glass? If it was glass, I would have been fooled as well;)

    Jody – you make me laugh. A lot.

    Sarah – sugar free syrup? Isn't the point of syrup to add more sugar to the already sweet pancakes???

    And these first mentioned thoughts were probably exactly what this label meant to imply to the grocery shopper! 😉
