    Default KFC Maple Syrup ad

    Recently on a local radio station Kentucky fried chicken advertised serving “maple syrup“ I contacted the FCC, KFC, and an executive member of the maple syrup North American Council. It seems no one is concerned about this misleading advertising. Has anyone else heard this ad? On Kentucky fried chickens television ad they feature a life-size bottle of Mrs. butters worth. But on the radio ad this condiment is only described as “maple syrup“.

    I'll bet a law suit will come of that!
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    I herd it yesterday and thought to myself I'll bet it's not pure maple syrup.
    Some lawyers will say theres half of 1% maple syrup in it so it's not misleading.
    25 years sugaring
    2018 191taps. Made 80 gallons
    Two taps to a 5 gallon bucket roadside trees.

    Sick the Vermont Attorney General on them. Back in 2011 they won a case against McDonalds for the Fruit and "Maple" Granola they were peddling....it was using extract. Needless to say, VT won and customers could request that McDonalds add real maple syrup to comply.
