Did you know that Canada has a strategic maple syrup reserve? Well, I didn’t either. I found out because I read on The Atlantic that someone has stolen some of its contents: $30 million worth. That’s a lot of maple syrup.
I turned to my coworker and commented on this. This was pertinent because my coworker, being Korean-Canadian, was possibly interested in this tidbit of trivia.
I said, “Canada stockpiles maple syrup. Who knew?”
Without missing a beat, he said, “Yea, but, I mean, thank God, eh?”
