Vermont Maple Syrup: Too "Over The Top" For IHOP

[jayfurr]

Apparently the chief executive officer of IHOP is really, really confused, equating maple syrup with some sort of weird effete highfalutin' thing that her down-to-earth customers want NO PART of. And it gets better: their official corporate spokescritter has never tried maple syrup, but is looking forward to the experience. This is the spokesperson of the INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES we're talking about here. NEVER tried maple syrup.

Sigh.

Well, at least they've agreed to let the first-ever Vermont IHOP offer real maple syrup for 99 cents a pop, in little quantities barely large enough for a single pancake. Carole says we should just bring in our own.

I hated maple syrup until maybe 6-8 years ago. Bad experiences, I think.

It's even funnier seeing the people argue about it in the
comments section. Like the one moron who tries to blame
NATURAL maple syrup for making people fat, but NOT the fake
corn yrup crap, or even the starchy pancakes, themselves...
