    I don’t know how it is elsewhere, but here, if you get honey in a bear shaped container,it’ll be the absolutely shittiest honey available on the market.

      Never seen one outside of American media, and it was always obvious it’s the worst quality. I’m pretty sure it’s not even majority honey, it feels very American to have it be like 80% high-fructose corn syrup, additives, “honey aroma” and the rest shitty honey only because it’s needed by law to call it honey.

        That is not my lived experience; the random grocery store brand inexpensive honey I bought is 100% honey. I remember seeing a bottle of “honey blend” posted to Lemmy awhile back that was cut with corn syrup with a lot of Americans surprised at its existence.

        I’ve seen them in France. Here it’s not allowed to mix honey with something else. But you’re allowed to buy the cheapest honey you can find from wherever, and mix it. The result can be surprising.
