I see a new food niche coming to a boutique near me. . .

I saw that this morning on the news. I think there's a cool
packaging idea floating around somewhere, or there should be.

Did you notice the article said the colored honey was "not marketable"?

We saw it mention that one idiot said it wasn't. The reality is it may
not be at the consumer level, but it certainly would be at the prepared
food level as was noted here.

The current mistake batch is kind of a purple hue-- what you get when
you mix all the colors together. And we haven't created the 'weird
colored honey market yet.

Now that they see it can be colored, someone will feed the bees just
red, or blue, or chartreuse-- and sell it as 'naturally colored
honey'.

Then some chef on the food network will cook something with it, and
all the TV foodies will have to have some.

Note that I wasn't saying it was a good idea-- I just think it will
happen.
