    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

        10W30 motor oil will be thicker (30) when it is hot. Cooling it in the fridge will not make it anywhere near cold enough to thicken up from its thin cold-temperature weight (10).

            That would be 80W90 gear oil.

        Reminds me of the episode of Joe Pera Talks with You where he talks with the guy who pours liquids professionally for television commercials.

          Such an underrated treasure of a show.

            Indeed, so sad when it was cancelled. At least we still have Joe! And his new comedy special is free on Youtube.

            Also, Joe is connected to so many cool people (many of them also named Joe) like Joe Bennett, who drew the art for Joe’s bathroom book.

            Joe Bennett is one of two creators of Scavenger’s Reign, which I am about halfway through the currently released episodes and it is so good and the art is so amazing. Really reminiscent of the art of Moebius. Nice to see some high quality animation that isn’t in faux-anime style. The original animation that inspired it is also on YouTube and is a little closer to Joe Bennett’s natural style, as seen in Joe Pera’s bathroom book.

    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.

      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)
