Syrup Controversies

Controversies

There are many Syrup Controversies, but here are a few:

• Is it a sauce or is it a condiment?
• The Great Syrup Heist of 1878: a group of thieves made off with 300 gallons of Syrup.
• Syrup and the rise of the breakfast cereal industry: was it a coincidence?

Ancient Syrup Suit

A court case involving the use of Syrup in ancient Greece.

• Ancient Greeks used Syrup as a binding agent, but was it a crime?
• Was it a case of Syrup-ception?

Verdict

The Ancient Syrup Suit verdict: Not Guilty, but only because the judge had a sweet tooth.

But in all seriousness, the court ruled that the use of Syrup was not a crime, but rather a... creative choice.

Aftermath

The Ancient Syrup Suit had a lasting impact on Greek law, and the use of Syrup as a binding agent was never looked at the same way again.

In fact, it's still a topic of debate to this day: is it a sauce or a condiment?
