I was hoping for one of those old spring-loaded joke cans, but that was cool too. Like a Star Wars/Trek asteroid field.

Looks like Manuka honey which is pretty expensive but is also much thicker than most honeys

So…pretty much how honey behaves on earth, with extra floatiness

I was wondering about that cloudy appearance also but thought it might be partially crystallized.

At $10,000, that’s the most valuable honey on near Earth.

Maybe it’s creamed honey?

Something, something, polymers?

Huh, so NASA uses Ziplock brand containers, but uses yellow rather than blue lids.

It has long been my personal philosophy that crepes, waffles, slices of bread and that sort of thing are merely media to deliver maximum amounts of sweet viscous fluids from table to mouth.

And every morning as I wipe various sweet viscous fluids off the front of my t-shirt, it occurs to me that I’d be much happier living in space.

Careful what you wish for. In space (if we’re talking microgravity) those sweet viscous fluids would soon be everywhere, not just on the front of your t-shirt.

(On the other hand - space bikes. Worth a few sticky surfaces, I’d say.)
