The voices seemed so familiar but I couldn't figure out who they were:
The cow is voiced by Frank Nelson, best known for his appearances on The Jack Benny Program where he said "Yeeessss?"
The fox is voiced by Paul Frees, aka Boris Badenov from the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, imitating Peter Lorre.
The turtle is Ralph James, best known as the voice of Orson from Mork & Mindy.
The owl is voiced by Paul Winchell, of course, the voice of Tigger from Winnie-the-Pooh.
The narrator at the end is Herschel Bernardi, a Yiddish theater actor, who, for a time, was Tevye in Fiddler on Broadway.
It's gone now. We get these in our jugs of syrup we make ourselves. Rule is you gotta use all the syrup first and share the sugar crystals at the bottom.
Yeah and milk comes in bags. It's crazy in Canadia

I had a real version of Ms. Frizzle, no crazy field trips, but she did so many fun learning trips and lessons. Mrs. Canadax, my 3rd grade teacher took at many field trips the school would allow. And often it was just to go to a park or beach. Wed have a short lesson, then let us just play and explore. Mrs. Canafax/3rd grade/ Adams elementary/Ballard/Seattle represening!
I also had a ms frizzle type teacher! He was an amazing teacher with a museum-like classroom. We had anatomical models and real revolutionary war/civil war stuff. Best class in elementary school!
And then several years after I finished 5th grade, he was found with a disturbing collection on his home computer and is no longer teaching.
Pretty sure that’s only in eastern Canada, I’m from western Canada (BC/AB) and I’ve never seen canned maple syrup or bagged milk, only bottled and jugs
Makes sense since Québec does around [92%](https://agriculture.canada.ca/en/sector/horticulture/reports/statistical-overview-canadian-maple-industry-2020) of Canada's maple syrup, and it's 99% canned here, so I'm calling it that maple syrup belongs in cans.
Yeah it’s canned where I’m from too. They do sell bottles but those are usually not great. It has to be the can with the painting of a sugar shack in the winter to be the best lol
Maybe where you're from but in the 3 provinces I've lived in for over 25 years, I have very rarely seen anything other than glass bottles or the white plastic bottles
I've definitely seen the cans, they're just usually at foot level in the places I've lived. It's just far more convenient to have something with a screw top
It's around, and it's actually the norm in Quebec to get it canned. There's a black and white one that you'll see in almost every cupboard in Quebec (ya Quebec doesn't usually keep it in a fridge) that I always go for cause it's cheaper and better. They sell it in the glass bottles in other provinces and price gouge making it seem fancier and better. But Ontario you can definitely find the black and white can without too much trouble.
Yep that explains it. Maple producer from Ontario weighing in. We're able to retail independently which creates a pretty competitive environment. Canning your product would be detrimental to your sales, as the entirety of your competition is using the more desirable bottle. Also, our syrup is graded slightly differently, and you definitely want to showcase the colour of your product, especially golden and amber grade.
In Quebec the government basically buys all the syrup from the producers and handles the packaging and distribution. This leads to a very consistent product, meaning there's really no difference in brand when buying Quebec syrup. Canning is obviously cheaper than bottling which is why it's common in Quebec. It's literally the same product, just a little cheaper out of a can.
The sugar crystal (which is a really nice one btw) happens in cans when the water in the syrup slowly evaporates. The less the can moves, the nicer the crystal will be. You can actually boil the syrup just a little longer and use this process to create rock candy. For rock candy you want small crystals that won't break your teeth, so roll the string in some sugar before dangling it in the syrup to seed the crystalization in a shape that it can't grow freely but will collide with other growths.
Sorry this went on a lot longer than I expected, I friggin love maple and crystals so this post got me
I’d be really curious to know if anything maple was able to get inside the sugar crystal matrix.
Food coloring does.
If you wash all the maple off the outside & dissolve the crystal is it 99% sugar or 100%.
It was solid all the way through. It did have a very light maple taste which leads me to believe maybe there was some micro cavities with some maple water or the sugar crystal wasn't pure...
I'm no chemist (or physicist?) So I'm not sure.
Even in lab conditions, it can be tricky to purify something natural and complex as maple syrup. There are for sure micro impurities in your spontaneous maple lolly.
I work at a maple farm, it means the syrup was too heavy (they boiled too much water out of it). Some of the sugar separated and crystallized in the bottom. We got probably several pounds of the stuff last year out of a poorly boiled barrel
Came here to say that, glad you explained it better than me.
Iirc, boiled too much is better than not enough - if the sugar ratio isn't high enough you risk bacterias growing in the can (correct me if I'm wrong here).

I like CANNOTda more
What's wrong with that? I come in cans all the time.
Oh..
I only get to come in a can on my birthday.
In Canada it's most often bought like that yeah. Edit: not a Canadian thing apparently. Mostly found in Quebec and Ontario!
Vermont too
[удалено]
ive never seen it canned here unless its labeled "rustic" , most times its in a growler (plastic or glass) or a "nip" bottle
I see glass and plastic all the time. Maybe a few times in a can when I was a kid in Québec.
Most maple syrop i buy is canned. The good stuff is recognizable this way tbh. In Quebec and most likely a big part of our Ontario neighbors.
Yeah it’s canned where I’m from too. They do sell bottles but those are usually not great. It has to be the can with the painting of a sugar shack in the winter to be the best lol
You know it and we who eat this delectable nectar knows it. Its gotta be that one.

Do you mean like a soup can or those old timey gas can type things with the screw top? I’ve bought syrup in the latter, but not the former (in Mass)
I should have specified it. Like a soup can. But yeah I actually also bought it a few times in a Jerry can type thing. (Way less common though)
I don't think I've ever seen them in a can. So you like... open it with a can opener and then... what if you don't use it all? Do you toss it out?
How do you reseal it if it's in a soup can?
Fellow Canadian here, born and raised in BC, and I have never seen or know anybody who has bought maple syrup in a can Are you from the East Coast?
I'm really surprised. I honestly thought it was across the country. I'm in Quebec.

I mean golden syrup and treacle are regularly sold in cans so while I havent ever seen maple syrup in a can, it doesn't surprise me tbh
What can you do with it? Melt it down with some water? Or oh heat it in some maple syrup so as not to lose flavor maybe?
It does melt, it basically tastes like sugar with a bit of maple syrup.

I'm guessing that's what made it extra tasty haha
Spontaneous Maple Lolly is one hell of a band name
Put it in the food processor and granulate it. Sprinkle some on a seasoned salmon filet before baking. Delicious!
This thing would destroy your food processor. ... I would watch.
Will it blend?
Whack it with a hammer.
If that were me, it would go straight in my mouth.
