Once that taste was in my mouth I knew that I would never forget it. I felt like I was going to throw up. Later my friend got out the syrup bottle to tease me and I totally freaked. This didn't happen before, but now it's like every nerve in my body is screaming at me to run for my life.

And it definently doesn't help that I have always hated sticky things. Now everyone knows about my fear and I get teased all the time. Yeay, converts to HAMS! Gigi, I'm so sorry that your heart is hurting. It's awesome that you enjoy real syrup so much and I wouldn't dream of depriving you of it, but I'm also REAAAALLY glad that Maine is far, far away from me. JC, I'm sure they'll forgive you.

We don't demand great social upheaval, we just want to be heard. And to have the freedom to run away. This post is amazing! When I make instant oatmeal at work (maple syrup flavoured) my peers get totally grossed out by the smell. They hate the smell of maple syrup. Apologies to my co-workers! I'm shocked, so shocked! I thought everyone loved maple syrup. Oh, you're breaking my heart with this hub, even though it's really funny! I love maple syrup so much that I'm writing a hub about it right now.
