Amicus717 309 Posted April 18, 2019 Did you also know that we have a Maple Syrup strategic reserve? I'm not even kidding. We do. And a few years ago, it was robbed: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/09/why-does-canada-have-a-strategic-maple-syrup-reserve/261869/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigb 3,065 Posted April 18, 2019 Maple syrup was definitely the first thing that came to my mind. Love the stuff! (Don't love the 63% sugar though...) I think we can all agree, crude oil on your pancakes or waffles, just doesn't taste as good. 😀 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
