BTDT!
But, no. When reading this, keep in mind that I tend towards problem solving and pragmatism.
Years ago, when ordering breakfast in a restaurant, it would often include a stack of flap jacks on the side, often brought out on one of those dinky plates that will fit on a crowded breakfast table and make the flap jacks look bigger than they really are.
As a syrupholic, I start pouring and the syrup would run off the flap jacks and waterfall off the edges of the dinky plate, and make a big mess that caused everyone to grab their drinks and side plates and shift into evermore cramped spaces, and I was chastised often enough that I decided to come up with a solution.
The Syrup Well is what I call it.
Basically, I first smear the butter on every flap jacks, then use the fork to cut out the center of the stack. Pour the syrup in the "well" until it starts to overflow, then eat the edges of the well. The syrup will start to soak into the surrounding walls and the syrup level will drop. Once the syrup level drops, simply refill as needed. No fuss, no mess, nobody complaining...basically I eat the flap jacks from the inside out with a ton of syrup, and those who eat with me have fun giving me grief...but who can get upset when you have a mouthful of syrup-soaked flap jacks.

It only took me 55 years of living before I learned of the Great Deception involving that “maple” syrup! We’ve switched to the real stuff in recent years.

PASigBunch of woke, caving dumbasses.
The brand was FAMOUS and RECOGNIZABLE. Now it will be replaced with some generic looking BS logo that will indistinguishable from all the other brands and sales will plummet as people simply reach for the cheapest brand they see now. Way to go.

HRKI'm thinking it has nothing to do with being "woke" or any SJW direct attacks but a sharp interdiction and opportunity to use the current social landscape to remarket a brand and get out of the AJ name...
Corporate Advertising probably saw an opportunity to get world wide media advertising for zero dollars, other than the cost of creating the program and sending out the FB Post, Instagram and news release about the change.
Smart marketing move, you look Woke, Current, and in step with the social times, and you expose your product name to millions both old name and then the new name.
Free marketing. Smart...

Were you in the Air Force with the nick name “Rocket Bob”? One of my team leaders ate that way, seemed odd but it works.

'tis not I.
But, if I was able to pick my own nick name I wouldn't mind being Rocket Bob. Now I have to find this character just so that we can argue about who first came up with this concept and the finer points of this refined culinary etiquette.

6gunsIf I might add my own adaptation, I usually butter my pancakes and then cut them up before applying syrup. That way, the syrup makes it's way into all the cracks and won't overflow the plate's lip. And you get full coverage along with the soaking effect.
And I too only use maple syrup. Growing up in New England makes me a syrup snob.

The Babylon Bee has had some good satirical posts as well:

Man, that is cultural appropriation.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

stickman428Yeah. They apparently got uncle Ben too. I’m hoping they Will choose clowns to replace Uncle Ben & Aunt Jemaima so that the packaging can be more representative of our culture currently.
