This is a really off topic queation but can you ladies in the USA tell me -
what is Karo Syrup?

Emma has found a book in the library with halloween costumes - she wants to
be a werewolf. The directions say - put Karo Syrup on your face and use it
to get wool to adhere to your face. I guess it is some kind of food
product. We don't have it in New Zealand? Is it like maple syrup or
treacle or what?

Also I just wanted to say Sandra how sorry I was to read about your
accident. The advice always given is don't overdo it but I get the feeling
your are not the type to listen to that sort of advice. : -)

It's a clear sticky syrup. Used mostly in baking over here (and by guinea
pig breeders like me to keep their sows from going toxic during pregnancy
<g>) but some folks use it on pancakes, etc.

I would imagine that any gooey/sticky syrup would work. They probably
recommended the karo because it wouldn't show on white/very light wool.

Karo syrup is a clear, slightly yellowish corn syrup. (although it is made in
dark too) I looked at the bottle I have and it says *Light corn syrup, High
fructose corn syrup, salt, vanilla* I use it to make pecan pies. Yumm! And I
have seen it as an ingredient for making fake blood too. If you don't have
any there, and can't find a substitute tomorrow, would you like me to UPS it
to you?

Thank you for the generous offer but now that I know what it is I think any
sticky syrup will do the trick.

I grew up eating Karo on french toast and what my mom called "corn fritters".
Can you tell I'm from the south? :)

I think it is comparable to treacle in NZ but I could be wrong. Sounds like
nasty stuff to put wool on your face with anyway. They probably have a nice
light non-irritating adhesive in the stores that would work.

Corn syrup. Clear and made from sweet corn.

It would seem then that this is the 100th anniversary (this year) of Karo
Syrup, the only kind my mother ever owned when I was growing up.

Thanks.

Well, I'm staying on one floor for a long time. It's one step down and one
big step and then three small steps up (and a lot of flat between) to get to
my own bed, and I'm staying here. I just can't bear the thought of falling
again rightnow. It's a full flight of steps (8, a landing, then 7 more) to
get up to the kitchen. I'm not going. From that level it's another 8 to get
into the library (the room above the garage). I'll go there for Christmas,
maybe.

I'm spooked about any moving. I've been out of the house twice, to a funeral
(my favorite high school teacher, Jacqueline Littlejohn) and to the doctor to
get a new cast. That doesn't involve stairs. Just bumping along through
the back yard to the alley. It's not a pretty vision.

It would be really easy to take off, though.

I remember having infants and going to photographers and hearing/learning
that they put little bows on baby girls' heads with thick sugar water for
photos.

Yes, my mother used Karo to put a bow on my head every day, because I was a
cue-ball. And my formula was made with it, too. :P
