My childhood smelled of maple syrup. After discovering the TikTok-induced reemergence of freezing pancake batter in ice cube trays, my days may once again become maple-scented.
Back in a time when there was a clear distinction between good (eating pancakes) and evil (learning math), the classrooms, school buses, and friends I knew almost always smelled like an iHop. Also, everything — and everyone — was always sticky. For whatever reason, as I got older, the pancakes, maple syrup, and stickiness in my life vanished. I'm hoping this TikTok pancake hack will change that.
