-Introduction-

For over 20 years now we have been buying the traditional golden syrup in the tin. But seduced by the offers of the plastic squeezy bottle we decided to try a change.
The product comes in a 454g plastic bottle with a flip open style cap and suction squeezy thing (like toothpaste).

-Positives-

The product on the practical side is so much easier to use. Before you had to find a spoon and haphazardly try to spoon some syrup out of the tin into food without getting it all over the table! It also meant sticky spoons to dispose of!

I also found with the tin variety that the lid often became sticky and so wouldn't go back on properly after use.

I really think the squeezy bottle makes much more sense, it means less mess and heartache so early in the morning and I also feel that as it is squeezy you can get out exactly how much you want. I always tended to put more on with the tin, as I was using a spoon.

I really don't think any other make of syrup compares to the mighty Lyle's. It's been going forever it seems and the taste is so yummy! The rich, sweet texture is like nectar to any sweet toothed individual.

The texture is grea too. I hate really runny honey or syrup. I like it to hold its shape a little on the pancake! Lyle's is great as its so gloopy, but with the no mess squeezy bottle this is fine!

This is a UK company and so you are supporting british firms and cutting down on those food miles!

Such a versatile product; porridge, cakes, pancakes, puddings!!

Contains no fat! None!

-Negatives-

There is no getting away from the fact that syrup is basically bad for you. It rots the teeth and is probably a main contributor to childhood obesity, but in moderation there is no harm!
I always try to brush my teeth after eating though, a good habit to get into a think.

-Conclusion-

The best syrup brand on the market
