Try this out the next time you have pancakes, when eating with other people. When applying syrup to your pancakes, apply a slightly larger amount of syrup to your pancakes than you normally would. I'm not talking about drowning your pancakes, but a larger than normal amount... You may be surprised by the results.
Apparently, there's something special about a pancake with a lot of syrup that makes other people at the table unable to resist making comments. Comments such as, "You think you used enough syrup?", or "Would you like a little pancake with that syrup?" will surely follow. Rational people, who normally tend to avoid passing judgment suddenly wrinkle their collective noses at the lake of syrup on those pancakes. It's a strange phenomenon.
I know several people who use a large amount of syrup, so it's not that it's completely out of the ordinary... or at least not so out of the ordinary that you'd draw comments from as many people as have commented to me. It almost seems to anger people. Anywho, try it out and see if you get comments... syrup elitists are everywhere.
