This was popular when first seen, and it’s now cheaper. Check your local, they may have lots or none. Charles St Coles in Launceston had four on the shelf, by the time I came back to take a pic two had already gone.
If you’re not sure what to do with that much syrup try drizzling over bacon strips then bake slowly in the oven at 160C until crispy.
mother of god
Thin little bird lips?
Ok meow?
You chicken forkers.
SWEET "mother of god"
Coles seems to be cosplaying Costco, they bring in seasonal products in "huge" sizes and they quickly put them on sale. E.g. the 2kg peanut butter no long ago
They're not stocking the 2kg oenaur butter anymore??
Mmm. Sounds like it’s made of dinosaur. Delicious!
Is the Costco one more than $15? If it's only a bit more I'd go with the Costco one for the better quality.
i think around $18, it's organics one
Yup …got some for 50 cents yo <3 peanut butter >.> great for the mouse plague coming!
Colesplaying*
only cheaper $3
and? We have people price matching to save 10c, so $3 seems like a good saving to me!
16% off an already good price not enough? Wow, tough crowd…of one.
Container reminds me of a bottle of chlorox 2L…
If you’re not sure what to do with that much syrup
I'm either taking a bath in it or drinking it.
That would be one sticky situation.
Make maple bacon….. Its good….
Everybody calm down. It is just a glorified sugar. Fructose to be more precise.
The correct grammar is: “glorious sugar”.
Oh dear…
Fructose to be more precise.
I'm not sure what your definition of precise is.
Maple syrup is typically about 50-75% sucrose, less than 10% glucose and less than 4% fructose
Today i learned something new.
I like how confident you went in with your earlier comment too. Just makes it that much funnier.
Just remember
Fructose = Fruit sugar, and Maple tree ≠ Fruit
To be even MORE precise
What's the rest, water?
Yes.
Plus the small amounts of what make it maple syrup, things like the flavours, minerals etc.
@spaceflight: yep and how far they reduce it (cook to get rid of water) varies between brands, so not all maple syrups are equal , but they are all nicer than some of the maple flavoured syrups made from sugar or corn.
There is also about 20% other stuff, mostly water probably, but you try adding 0.1% formaldehyde and see what happens to the taste! The dizzying array of random trace things Mummy N sticks in maple syrup (vs golden syrup) is what makes it taste "glorious" (as above)
There is also about 20% other stuff, mostly water probably
Actually 96% other stuff because fructose is only about 4%.
Canadian here. This is good shit, and it's about half the price that you get it in Canada.
Did you mean "aboot half"?
non
While you're here, can you explain how Celine Dion won the Eurovision for Switzerland??
@aert: And what on earth she was doing in Africa with Elton John?
That just did not compute on any level…
Never understood the "aboot" thing. The true accent sounds more like "a boat"…
Dunno man, I get all my jokes from Southpark…
I think certain parts of Canada have that accent…
How long do you usually keep it for?
Forever.
Your thinking of Honey .. once opened a container of Maple Syrup does expire and can get mouldy ..
12 months if the fridge should be cool!
@Wally: not sure about maple syrup but honey only molds if you contaminate it, always use a clean spoon, honey itself doesn’t mold
edit: after doing some research it seems maple syrup is like sugar keeps indefinitely unless you contaminate it
The accent?
can keep in freezer, it doesn’t go hard due to sugar content, but does thicken. if left in pantry after opening it can get mould on the surface.
Ok an expert opinion
Aussies think they get gouged on supermarket essentials. Yeah, I thought that as well until I lived in Canada for a few months.
Everything is generally more expensive with fewer offers on special. $15 for a generic bottle of paracetamol which I could get in Australia for $2.
Can't be understated the impact of Aldi as well. Generic supermarket brands in Canada aren't that much cheaper than the branded counterparts.
Dollarama/Dollar Tree pretty much filled the niche that Aldi took here for basic staples.
Mmmm Maple mead.
Now to wait for the bacon sale.
Just found some @ $3.50/kg :S almost brought them out but the guy behind me wanted some too.

As a Canadian I approve this deal 🍁
I thought it would be diluted but if correct 100% Pur ( so I approve too) .
None at Coles Illawong or Revesby NSW.
what does it taste like? no homo
Tastes like maple syrup. some homo?
I think it has a DARK, ROBUST TASTE.
Can it get mould if left in panty unopened? Never bought such a big bottle of maple syrup before!
someone said you can keep it in the freezer as it doesn't freeze, just gets a bit thicker
Yh I saw that… Guess I'll do that instead of leaving it in the pantry! Thx
As a Canadian, we def use Aunt Jemima syrup way more than this
Ok time for my canadian shop..

my local ww stopped carrying them so I am may need to get a couple packs just in case coles follows. haha
I scored mine for $4.50 at my local Coles yesterday!
$6 a couple days again at my local.
Coles in Taroonga Village (Hawthorn, Victoria) had them at $18 when I checked on Saturday.
What section should I look for this one? Around honey/jam? (scratch)
If you’re going to find any it will be in the Special Buys section as this isn’t a regular stocked item. Most stores appear to be sold out (all my locals are) but you may still get lucky.
I see it in Coles Taronga (Hawthorn, VIC) and Coles Middle Camberwell (VIC) all the time and it is placed next to all the other Maple Syrup selections. I think it is the same aisle where you get things like ice cream toppings, Hershey's syrups etc. It is not the same aisle as Jams from my experience though. It is listed as $18.
This price at Albury Coles as well
