Subtitle: There is a very specific kind of disappointment that hits you when you realize that the “pure, raw honey” you’ve been drizzling over your morning toast might not be as pure as you thought.
Let me tell you about the first time I tried this trick.
I was in the grocery store, standing in the sweetener aisle, holding two jars of honey. One was labeled “100% Pure Raw Honey” and cost $12. The other was a squeeze bottle labeled “Honey Blend” for $4. I wanted to believe the expensive one was worth it, but I’d read so many headlines about honey fraud that I hesitated.
That’s when I saw a viral video claiming you can tell real honey from fake by simply flipping the bottle upside down!
I decided to try the trick. I bought both bottles. I flipped them upside down. The results were fascinating.
The Trick
Flip the bottle upside down. The trick is simple. Just flip the bottle upside down and watch the bubble.
Real honey: The bubble will rise slowly.
Fake honey: The bubble will rise quickly.
The science: Real honey is thick and viscous. Fake honey is thin and watery.
