I'll share it, but you have to promise not to tell.
Today when I was at the market, I bought this:
Notice the key four-letter word on the front:
That's right. It's "Lite". It has 50% fewer calories. See how happy that fact makes the CEO?
So I brought it home, took our other syrup bottle out of the pantry, grabbed a funnel and got sneaky...
Voila!
'Lite' syrup disguised as 'Original' syrup to fool my family of 'Lite'-haters.
What?
What's that, family-o'-mine?You like the syrup I usually buy?
Well, guess what...
*hee hee hee*
...I've been doing this for YEARS and not one of you has EVER complained about the syrup's taste or consistency.
(Did you never notice how ragged and worn out that big ol' bottle of 'Original' syrup was? The thing's been with us for a decade!)
Enjoy your pancakes!
*giggle*

Ok, I think that this wins "Blog Entry of the Year!" The pictures and commentary are perfect! Awesome job Aimee...by the way, has the family read this yet? What was their reaction?
hahahahaahaha that is awesome!!!! GREAT idea! Sooooo going to try that on my hubby...er...I mean...kids ;). Love it!
Thanks, guys!
F & L--Jeff read this last night and laughed out loud. So far, the kids are yet to be 'enlightened'.
Ronni--I recommend you prepare a half and half version to begin with and then eventually work your way over to 100% 'lite'. Ya know, you've gotta ease them into the deception. :)
you r too funny.... love it Aimee :-)
Oh thats priceless. When Morgan asked us if our tacos last night were chicken we said,"suuuureeeee." (She hates fish) She loved the tacos and later Dan asked her if she like the "chicken of the sea" right over her head! :)
One other question: After all these years of successful sneakery, what caused you to come clean now?
F & L--I'm tired of hiding the empty 'Lite' bottles at the bottom of the recycling bin and I figured that ten years was long enough to live a lie. :) Plus, it's always fun to reveal to people that you've been successfully tricking them. Btw, 'sneakery' is my new favorite word.
My favorite post to date!!! Love fooling the fam...one of the many joys of being a "house wife". :)

Hallarious! Love the pictures.
