On their porter flights, they also give you free beer, which is weird when it's 6AM.

Porter’s amazing, they’ll even just hand you multiple drinks on their final pass before landing.

I’m guessing the people who work Canadian customs at the Toronto Island airport have seen some poo poo.

You make sugar syrup, and boil it until enough of the sucrose breaks down into fructose and glucose to prevent it from crystallizing.
To expand on this, it's called "invert sugar" because it has the opposite effect on light as "normal" sugar has. This effect being that sucrose (and glucose on its own, which is why it's also known as "Dextrose" from the latin word for "right") in aqueous solution turn the plane of light waves passing through it to the right. Because naturally, light is unpolarized (the waves swing on every possible plane at random), you'd only notice this if you filter light to only have one orientation, with a polarization filter. Something that's used in some 3D glasses technology to make you only see one part of the image in one eye and a different part of a different polarization in the other eye. To illustrate:



The "optically active solution" in the image could well be a simple solution of sugar in water.

As rndmnmbr said, if you break sucrose into its composite parts, you get a 1:1 mixture of fructose and glucose, and as the concentration of fructose rises, the polarization of the light passing through the solution gradually shifts leftward. This is used as an analytical method to immediately tell the ratio of different sugar species in a given solution, or to determine purity.

Weird. I could have sworn up until this day that I had always understood "invert sugar" to be a molecularly mirrored sugar molecule that the body couldn't digest but tasted just as sweet, or that ate your brain like a candy prion or something

And here I thought it was just sugar that was sour instead of sweet, like "backwards sweetener" or something. Granted, I didn't think much on the topic prior to this.

Alternatively, you add some invertase to a fondant (enzyme to break down sucrose), and a few days or weeks later you've got a liquid-filled cherry cordial.

I know someone who has a business in NY now where she puts on edible weed parties. Basically she comes to your house and serves up a multi-course meal over an evening, with each course having an appropriate amount of weed in it to get everyone pleasantly high.

Onion or not, I'd believe it. My grocery store does a blind taste test between brand and store brand stuff sometimes. A while back they did one for mayo.

They were serving it in little sample cups with a carrot stick. This is what management had decided was the best way to sample mayonnaise. People took samples and then brought them back because they hadn't realised it was just a cup of mayo.

Eventually the girl serving cups of mayo managed to convince a manager to give her some bread. Eventually.

Salt is typically only a problem if you have high blood pressure, and I'm sure someone who eats nothing but processed meats and condiments doesn't have any health problems like that

When I was a kid I decided to make a "fancy drink" out of whatever juice was in the fridge and garnished it with a whole banana that had a sprig of mint shoved into it. It did not look half as terrible as this thing, and as I recall, was actually drinkable too.
