Harvesting the stuff does take time. The tapping season is about a month or two (where I live, it's even shorter than that). If I go on vacation I can miss it. Takes about a day to fill a 3-5 gallon bucket if the tree is up to it. Then it has to be cooked down to condense the sugars. So a million gallons of the stuff represents an awful lot of trees.

On a more serious note, I say all of you are wrong. Totally way off base on what the thieves are going to do with the syrup. Somewhere, those thieves are planning something sinister.

Dude I was totally thinking exactly that before I moused over the link!   :cheers:


My kids and I head over to that spot occasionally during the summer.  It's right in the middle of the Italian section of Boston and the food there is awesome.  Can't say I have ever smelled molasses on a hot day.


I did spot this in the spring in an obscure corner of the waterfront behind a tennis court, though.  Wonder how long ago that was and how it worked out for the dude.

It's a hard death to imagine. Killed by a wall of molasses moving at 35mph.

I've got one (the brick). It's down at a local kids park as part of their yellow brick road.

Hmmmm. If the majority of people were like me, there would be no need for syrup of any sort. Anyways, I be they're going to sell it in third world countries like crack in first world countries.
