Where’s a good scientist when you need one?
In my many travels as orb parent (and by “travels” I mean walking us both to the local Co-op and back), I keep my eyes open for anything that can be used as a Beans post. Anything. With not much going on apart from feeding, nappies and vomiting, and most of that can be attributed to me, I need a little inspiration in order to keep the raw gold coming from my fingers.
As I was preparing to tidy up the kitchen, I clocked the back of a plastic bottle waiting to be washed out before being recycled. It was then that my peepers saw this:
You what?
Partially inverted sugar syrup? Partially inverted?!
Do they need to twist the space time continuum in order to make sure my porridge tastes great?
I need someone with some kind of degree and a knack for science to explain to me what this means. I refuse to Google this like everyone else.

I think it just means someone turned it upside down in the factory to make sure the lid doesn’t leak.
My question is why were you going to wash out and recycle an almost full bottle of golden syrup?
Because I love wasting things.
No, that’s a complete lie. What I meant to say was that the bottle for recycling had the same description and I went to check the full bottle in the cupboard to see if it was the same. And it was.
Maybe you should upgrade to a premium brand. If you pay a higher price maybe you’ll get some fully inverted syrup instead of this knock-off partially inverted muck.
I read that as “fluffy inverted syrup” and now I want to know how to make syrup clouds.
Isn’t that just candy floss?
Yes, I believe that is candy floss, although you’d expect someone with Kev’s scientific background to already know that.
Presumably this isn’t his area of science. Now I think about it, what is? Is he a geologist or something?
