I am with you anent maple flavoring. Even real maple syrup was too much for me back when I had a horrendous, self-destructive sweet tooth.

But far worse is imitation maple syrup, AKA retch-inducing industrial jizz.

(And before anybody tries to jump the line, Retch-Inducing Industrial Jizz is already the name of my new garage band. Our Gregorian Chant with a swingin' backbeat and occasional guitar and/or keyboard smashing will vault to the top of the charts, just you wait. We already have a solid following of groupies who are so drug-addled that they consume imitation maple syrup.)

That just-in-time inventory is all well and good until something throws a wrench into the works.

Then you get this bullshit.

It'll pass, but it's wreaking havoc on my friends and associates in the construction and real estate industries.
