AIBU to refuse to buy this syrup?

[ABoringDystopia]

Husband has returned from a US business trip with a pile of American treats for the kids.

Naturally, they are addicted, and it was all gone in days.

Kids are desperate for more, but frankly, it's crap - look at the bottle to the right, it's not even real maple syrup.

It looks like we can get this through Amazon... But, AIBU to refuse to have this rubbish in the house?

Don't buy it if you don't want to. But kids love that sort of stuff, especially as it's a novelty!

Fruity pebbles flavoured syrup 🫢

YANBU

looks rank

I live in the US and I wouldn't buy that. I've never even seen it. Chicken and waffles really needs real maple syrup and tobasco sauce.

I probably buy one more by then hopefully then the novelty will have worn off

Looks more like washing up liquid

I wouldn't buy more, because then it's not a special thing that dad brought home all the way from America any more, it's just an overpriced import except the first bottle was imported via a different route. Better they can look back and say "Remember that time dad brought blue maple syrup from America?" and it was a special one-time thing.

Wel my kids aren't allowed blue food, sends them mental. Just don't buy it!

Up to you isn't it 🤷

YANBU. When 'treats' () from abroad are gone, they're gone.

Looks like a fast track to obesity and rotted teeth, to me.

Your husband is very foolish.

When/if dad goes back he will bring another bottle.

Not acceptable then they can club any pocket money together and buy it. Funnily enough when I’ve suggested this in the past, they suddenly don’t want the overpriced thing.

I don't see what's foolish about bringing home stuff like that from abroad as a one-off treat. It's the regular habits that'll get you.

Oh jesus no! Some kid-aimed things aren’t available in the UK because the ingredients are banned for safety reasons, especially food colourings.

Just buy ordinary maple syrup and put blue food colouring in it.

That look vile. Fake maple syrup should be banned, just why..

I'm in the US and have never seen either of those. I could see my kids wanting to try them as a one off, but I would not get it regularly

I live in the US and have never seen either of those, nor would I want to. You can’t beat real maple syrup. Why anyone would want fake maple syrup when the real thing is readily available here is a mystery.

Just tell the children that even Americans don’t eat it. There are at least three of us so far on this thread who’ve never even seen it before. So many delicious things in this country and he chooses that…

It’s not even real chicken… the whole plate is more fake than a Kardashian.

I mean that’s revolting. I AM American and I’ve never seen any of that shit before nor do I know anyone who feeds that garbage to their children!

id say no, it’s way too expensive, maybe next time we all visit you can try again.

Where the heck did he find all that?

I've never seen those items for sale anywhere.

I read this and though "just buy the syrup, it's only a topping", but then I opened the picture. Nope. Blue maple syrup 'flavour'. Gross. Just bring it back from trips (if they have it in stock ), don't get it online. Or just get real maple syrup which is great.

Disgusting crap he brought back. And no, I would not buy it for them.

I thought the bottle on the left was washing up liquid at first

buy it for Christmas as part of their stocking, it’s not something I would keep in the house all the time.
