Honey fraud solved

[JamezF]

We had a customer in today who owns a restaurant business. We got talking about food etc. and he told me that it's easy to tell the difference between real and fake honey: you just need to put a dollop of it in a bowl and then cover it with water. The honey remembers the hexagon pattern that it use to be in before it was extracted and forms that pattern again in the water, whereas a sugar syrup will do nothing.

So there you are. Problem solved. I can't believe it's taken so long to get this sorted out.

I hope you took the opportunity to try it with him?

I had to let it pass this time, I'm afraid. The customer is always right, after all

Let’s hope he doesn’t try it with your honey … oops

I hope you aren't suggesting that my honey is fake

Presumably if it's syrup it forms the shape of cane or beet?

My brother truly believed this also... But then he did live in the states for 10 years .

Seems to be the land of the free  gullible!

I can't work out how to do strike-through!

I've heard this nonsense before. Sounds very homeopathic.
