Fun fact: in America most common brands of both honey AND maple syrup are just flavored high fructose corn syrup. It’s not like we don’t have the real stuff on the same shelf, but you have to pay attention to the labels or you might get some bullshit.
Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?
prac@lemmy.world 3 days agoInterestingly, people who use honey often do it as a ‘healthier’ alternative to high-fructose corn syrup brands, though maple syrup actually has more minerals like calcium and potassium. Is honey the standard where you are from?

No it definitely isn’t I’ve never heard of honey on pancakes only on toast. Maple syrup is the normal pancake topping. We actually can get the real stuff pretty easily where I am too because Minnesota is practically Canada.
