That's really crazy about the agricultural crimes. a field full of potatoes, a tanker truck full of mayple syrup, and a cargo truck full of bees. What dastardly plot could these fiends be up to?

Seriously though, if you don't know about the sugarbush and the glory of real pure maple syrup, you are missing out. It is not only for pancakes, it is used in a lot of food, curing bacon, glazing sweet potatoes and pecans, baking, coffee additive, candy, etc etc. Anywhere you need sugar or honey added in a recipe, maple syrup makes a fine replacement.

The best stuff you can pick up is your average grocery store is pretty good, and something like $15 a pint I want to say? or $30-$40 a quart. It has been awhile since I had to buy some, unless you are eating waffles and pancakes everyday, mayple syrup lasts awhile. I was super lucky to find a clearance sale going at a local store, and picked up two quarts for 50% off, so still working on that.

I think a truck can hold 9000 gallons so for that many trucks to go in and out it had to be an inside job


oh, and also knowing where to get rid of all that gak

I'm sure this will all amount to a new company selling their flagship product: ''totally legitimate honey maple potatoes".

''totally legitimate honey maple potatoes".

Az I can't see that.....I mean....not even going to try it...think my teeth just fell out just reading that...

I figure it'd be a really starchy alternative to candied yams.

$15 a pint?
I could get at least 4 pints of cider for that and i'd be a far sight happier afterwards as well...

LOL hhmmmm Thanksgiving around the corner Az......candy yams...mmmmmmmm

Well, my thanksgiving is around the corner. October 8th! Woooooooooo!

You get to wait 'til November.


That being said, I've always been a big fan of the Pan-North-American-Dual-Thanksgiving: celebrating both days of eathing oneself into a coma, then awakening from it and making yourself a sandwich.

Darn...time to apply for canadian citizenship.....be a dual citizen

I'm not sure what to be more surprised at, the heist or the fact that canada has a strategic syrup reserve. A... strategic... syrup... reserve.

It makes sense if you think about it...

It really does make sense to have a reserve. think about it like an emergency suppy of dried and canned food on a national level.

But its syrup, dear god do Canadians need that to survive. Do they drink it, is their blood made of syrup, is it for their moose overlords. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW

Its calories.

Yes, the secrets out now.

Canada is run by a secret society of Moose and professional Hockey players. They run the Maple industry with an iron fist. Anyone who opposes them is usually found dead as a result of mysterious hockey stick related injuries, or they happen to go ice fishing one day and disappear, only to reappear in the thaw.

I... I don't understand why you would post that.


But I guess we'll see you again in the spring!


EDIT: I am neither confirming nor denying the existence of our moose overlords, nor their hockey-playing secret police. DO YOU HEAR ME!?! I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING

Haha, you can't get to me. I'm in CA. Anyone you send will melt in this balmy 70 degrees.

We all think it's kind of a drag that you have to go there to get milk in a bag....

Given that the US and Canada are neighbours your relationship is antagonistic,



You never miss an opportunity to really wind each other up. I always side with Canada, as one of our foremost Commonwealth Allies. They are like the US with all the inconsequential things rectified, like say Gun Control .

Better yet, spend $30, mix it all together, and have the best of both worlds.
