    Yeah, us Canadians have to check the label to make sure the honey is Canadian, otherwise its usually 50% corn syrup.

    Another easy tell is if you don’t mix it for a couple months it splits, and all the corn syrup floats to the top.

      American here … we’re really sorry. We don’t like it neither; but the corporations, you see? they need their profits.

        Another American here … I have literally never seen honey that’s been stepped on.

        What brands do this?

          Same, and I eat a fair amount of honey. Even when I buy cheap stuff on the road, it’s 100% honey. Maybe there’s some Dollar General store brand that’s severely discounted and cut, but I’ve never seen it.

              Home base is coastal, but I travel all over the US for work. I spend between 30-50% of the year on the road. I admit, not a ton of that time is in middle-of-nowhere Wyoming.
