I was waiting for an artificial honey thread to get started. ;)

Artificial Honey

The honey had some foreign substance
in it, the leg of a bee and a
shred of broken wing.

"Well," said the wife of the food expert,
"this is pure at any rate." She
held up the bits of bee on a fork before
her husband. "No benzoic acid, formaldehyde,
boric acid or salicylic acid
here, eh, John?"

But John, the food expert, laughed
scornfully. "Those bits of bee in the
honey," he said, "prove its artificiality.
Genuine honey never has dead bees in
it. They who make genuine honey are
too clean and careful for anything of
that kind to happen. It is as rare to
find in real honey a bee's wing or a
bee's leg as it is to find in a loaf of
bread a baker's hand or foot."
