I mean Vermont is a French name, so perhaps conflating it with Canada isn’t so unreasonable. The changed spelling is curious though 😁

Vertmont = Green Mountain

This makes me feel a few things. Most happy, except the Vertmont maple coming from Canada.

Vert is basically up and green in French. Northern green mont. Vert mont.

Twist: it's olive oil.

they're using our brand to sell the third-rate cartel shit. pretty straight-forward.

Japanese Vermont curry, though? That might take an afternoon or two to unpack.

Wait, is there really a maple syrup cartel?

there is really a maple syrup cartel.

This brand pops up in the UK as well

The r in a circle means the Canada Maple Syrup people registered “Vermont” as a trademark?

"product of Canada" Meaning it was bottled in Vermont with Canadian syrup. So not real Vermont syrup. And yes there is a difference.

Also, that’s a “red maple” leaf not a sugar maple leaf

and someone crossed them in a heist worth millions of dollars

I think a lot of VT maple syrup is processed/ packaged in Canada

Yes, it's incredible our little state somehow has a stronger brand internationally than Quebec, or maybe even Canada? That can't be true, but why don't they play up Canada's brand and good will? I've seen a very similar label in a normal grocery store in Sweden. We're kind of getting screwed here, but that they wanted to use our reputation is flattering!

Like I said, mixed. Flattering and insulting.

Yes. But they registered Vertmont, not Vermont.

Go Canada! 🥸

It wasn't bottled in Vermont. It says it's Vertmont syrup rather than Vermont syrup.

Oh shit I missed it.,. Cheers

What the hell Canada?!

I'd wonder if it is really fake maple syrup as well.

Japanese Vermont Curry is delicious.

It's actually bottled in Denmark and "Vertmont" is a Danish brand of Canada made maple syrup. That's why it says "stats kontrolleret økologisk", it means government controlled ecological, in the bottom. Everything claiming to be ecological has to go through government in Denmark, like everything else really.

They sell it all over Europe. Their website descriptions point out that Vertmont means green mountain and mentions that the best maple syrup comes from Vermont and the North Eastern regions of Canada.

I'm a Dane and I live in single-t Vermont

and it's rumored most of that was smuggled to St Johnsbury.

There is a chicken cartel as well.

I just booked a plant ticket to Copenhagen so I can tell people I’m from Vermont…with a single T

Say hi to everyone in single-n Denmark from me :)

Wait… that’s illegal

Says “Vertmont Maple Syrup” but made in Canada!! How is that Vermont anything?

It originally was Vert Mont then the T was dropped and the other two words were put together to make it “Vermont” I learned this in teaching my kids about Vermont from homeschooling

*edit to fix “Month”

All I see is Canada declaring war on Vermont.

ESDOOOOOORNSIROOP

Ah yes. The green month.

Wow, didn’t see that, fat finger and autocorrect, thanks for catching that

Dropping the T seems quite natural, the name rolls of the tongue better without it. Interesting!

Ha! My brain literally could not see that at first.

It doesn't say Vermont. Read it again, carefully.

I know exactly what it says, thank you..

Okay, your comment originally said it said Vermont maple syrup. Maybe it got autocorrected.

Reminds me of Petchow brand rat poison.

Do you know what “Vertmont” means?

Of course I do, but your original comment said it was labeled Vermont maple syrup. Since your edit I think the confusion is all cleared up now!

I wonder what an ahorn is.

Also you don't pronounce the T in Vert Mont. So by default it sounds like Very Mont, or Vermont.

Well French speakers don’t ofc, but obviously English colonists using the name did pronounce the T, or they wouldn’t have reason to drop it. I would think anyway.

Fuck Canada. I know they’re all nice and shit, but they’re milk and maple cartels fuck Vermont pretty rudely. At least give us a reach around…
