Sweet tea vodka mixed with lemonade and cranberry juice is delicious.
I buy real butter -- grew up on margarine, but always had a box of butter in the freezer for baking.
I have no syrup preference,

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Still, next week Norton gets David Tennant. That will be fun for sure.
The last time Tennant was on, it was soooo funny. It's worth finding on YouTube if you haven't seen it.
We always had butter and you should hear my mother crow (yes, present tense) about being vindicated on that.
As far as syrup goes, it was Log Cabin for pancakes and waffles and Roddenberry's cane patch for fresh biscuits.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On the butter / margarine issue, I knew a girl whose family tested the kids on their ability to differentiate between margarine and butter before they were allowed to have butter. Feeling, I suppose, that it was wasted on the younger palate or something.
Anyway, it became a family rite of initiation. At age 12 you sat down to a blind taste test of butter and margarine on toast. If you identified the buttered toast you could have butter thereafter. If you failed, then you had margarine again until your next birthday when you were tested again. All three kids were tested. I think one failed on the first try.
That's undeniably fucked up but the kind of detail you stow away for a story.
I knew another girl at college who hated mayonnaise so much that just mentioning the word to her caused her to have a gag reflex.
And I knew another girl in college who inquired whether the fried clams were boneless.

sticking the opened bags of potato chips in the fridge.
I've never heard of this! What was the purported reason for putting them in the fridge? To keep them from getting stale?

No, this is basically true, maple syrup in the freezer will last indefinitely.
And if maple syrup in the fridge gets moldy you can actually just skim it off and boil the syrup and it's fine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I knew another girl in college who inquired whether the fried clams were boneless.
I'm pretty sure I had a dream recently about fried clams. Because I remember a conversation about bellies vs. strips, but am reasonably certain I haven't been in a room with fried clams recently.
Huh.

Huh. My syrup is in the fridge. I should go move it.
