1. Did you know Karo Syrup could be used for Constipation?

[geardaddy]

4. Yikes!

I would think it would cause constipation.

[Left Is Write]

28. Parents used to make baby formula with corn syrup.

Corn syrup and evaporated milk.

[reyd reid reed]

37. Yup...my mom did

when we were babies. Added a few drops of vitamins, and there it was.

[Ilsa]

16. I wouldn't give my kid corn syrup at that age.

I'd be concerned about the "No corn, peanut butter, honey, citrus, etc" rule regarding allergies.

Prune juice would probably work better, and it is sweet.

And a parent should consider the cause of the "constipation". Some babies especially if breastfed, go through a stage of bowel changes at six weeks. They may take along time to poop, even a week or two, and never be symptomatic (fever, distension, discomfort).

38. My oldest

got constipated...he was only about 6 weeks old...and the pediatrician told me to put a tablespoon or two of blackstrap molasses in his formula.

Worked like a charm.

[Ilsa]

40. was he fully breastfed? alot of kids have the change

of bowel habits right at that time. They'll go when they are ready to, but they are switching from 3-4 times per day to once a day or even skipping several days. As long as the baby isn't having discomfort, fever,. etc, it isn't necessaary to intervene.

[SacredCow]

2. BOTH are wrong.....

Steen's Cane Syrup is the correct answer.

Maple would be my second choice.

Haven't found an acceptable use for Karo, except for attracting insects.

22. Cheerios bars and pecan pie.

[reyd reid reed]

35. Chocolate-covered cherries

and when I'm just short of molasses for my gingerbread house.

edited to add: in peanut brittle too, I think. Might be peanut brittle. Some of the candies use it.

[Adsos Letter]

45. I agree...except we use "Lyle's Golden Syrup"

EXCELLLLENT... :D

Genuine maple's not bad though.

[Shakespeare]

3. Maple syrup on pancakes, karo syrup on french toast.

There is no other way.

[Left Is Write]

24. You put corn syrup on your French toast?

I've never heard of such a thing.

[Shakespeare]

25. I think it's a southern thing.

I know it sounds weird, but it's REALLY good....

[Kajsa]

5. Pure Maple Syrup.

No imitations here, thank you.

[MissMillie]

11. from VT or Canada

eccept no imitations.

[BrotherBuzz]

15. New Hampshire Grade B maple syrup

Accept no substitute

[Kajsa]

31. Yes!

Vermont or Canada.

:hi:

[Tyo]

6. Karo syrup? Pancakes?

Is THAT what people use Karo syrup for? I'd always wondered people did with that stuff. Still begs the question of why, especially if there is maple syrup available.

[Critters2]

13. No. Normal, healthy people use it to make fudge.

That's what it was invented for.

[Left Is Write]

29. No, normal healthy people use marshmallows to make fudge.

They use corn syrup to make pecan pie.

:D

[Tikki]

7. Just a swipe of butter.....

on top of each in a short stack.

That's all, please.

8. Make mine ribbon cane, or 'lasses.

I wuz RAISED on Alaga syrup.

[Nicole]

9. Maple Syrup for Pancakes, Karo Syrup is for making Pecan Pies

:9

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. Maple Syrup, of course.

Karo syrup (aka high fructose corn syrup) is a poison.

[supernova]

12. Agave Syrup

It's a low GI syrup and much sweeter than maple, so a little goes a long way.

[Xipe Totec]

19. I'll vouch for that

extremely sweet; you only need half as much of this syrup as ordinary syrup.


Tastes great.


expensive, tough...

[supernova]

27. Wish the price

would come down. It's not like Agave plants are endangered. :crazy:

[crim son]

14. Karo syrup is for making sauces and candies.

I wouldn't eat it on pancakes! Maple syrup, fer sure.

[smtpgirl]

17. powdered sugar & butter

not into pancakes as much as waffles, but any kind of buttered syrup & sausage is good

[hellbound-liberal]

18. I prefer waffles too and I top them with peanut butter, bananas and Tupelo and Wildflower honey

when I can get it. I have a friend who knows a beekeeper in Florida and, if I'm lucky, I can get it twice a year.

[Left Is Write]

26. I love Tupelo honey.

[mzteris]

20. SO how do yall pronounce Karo?

I grew up with Karo. Blue Label for pecan pies. Green Label for pancakes. White for candies and some other pies.

Of course if we could get the homemade cane syrup - we used that, too!

[Left Is Write]

23. CARE-oh.

[mzteris]

30. oh honey - you must not be

a southern gal. . .

it's KAY-row, doncha know??

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

32. I'm a Minnesotan.

:D

[Nicole]

39. Kay row of course.

The a is silent. Or what we call ignored. :P

Like many words, we don't use all of the letters. Other times we just add some. That's how it's done here. :rofl:

[Left Is Write]

21. Are you insane?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

33. Er, VT maple.

:D

[u4ic]

34. Maple syrup is vile

I'm a lousy Canadian, I know.:P

I've never heard of Karo syrup, but it doesn't sound particularly tasty, either.

I'll go for bottle #3...

[jgraz]

36. Grade B Maple Syrup

Karo freaks me out :scared:

[Shell Beau]

41. People put Karo on pancakes?

Why????

[Flaxbee]

43. I don't understand, either. Never, ever heard of Karo

syrup on pancakes, or anything else for that matter (French toast??). Just was used in our house, if at all, for fudge. Maybe pecan pie.

[Penndems]

42. Maple syrup for pancakes, waffles and French toast . . .

Karo for pecan pie! :)

[kedrys]

44. Maple syrup, why? It's not like there are other choices

At least not for this purist canuck expat. :P

[Marrah_G]

46. Karo Syrup??? ewwwwwwwwwww

Nothing, nothing, nothing but Pure VT/NH Maple Syrup goes on my pancakes!!!

I remember going to the maple farms and eating minutes old syrup poured warm over snow.... yummmm

And Maple syrup candies.... If I didn't have to watch every calorie I'd eat them by the box :)

[TommyO]

47. Is there any question? Maple, of course!

Karo belongs on your popcorn.
