About 21 years ago ... I had a 1 gallon jug of Maple Syrup in the back of the fridge and hadn't gotten around to opening it for most of a year. I love maple syrup, but it was so expensive I seldom buy it. I was just married a couple of years earlier. Strangely, my now ex-wife started gaining noticeable weight months earlier ...
I finally made pancakes for breakfast one morning, had a nice hot stack ready to serve. I reached into the fridge, grabbed the jug of syrup and ... it was freaking empty!!! I was shocked!
It turns out the ex confessed that she had tapped it and craved maple syrup mixed with peanut butter for a sweet. She went through the whole jug behind my back ... I never saw her eating the peanut butter mixture. UFB. She left the empty jug in the fridge too. No she didn't offer to replace it either. Eventually I replaced her.
To this day that memory comes up every time I treat myself to maple syrup and pancakes.
Lol!
