Anyway, the title text "and we'll all just show up with a bucket each day to take our share of the resulting smoothie" reminds me of this bit near the end of Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx0ME65y72E  (Warning: not for the squeamish.) --[[User:RenniePet|RenniePet]] ([[User talk:RenniePet|talk]]) 16:21, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

I tried to discuss earlier but did not have permission to "create a page."  Now I can comment, I assume because you created the page?  Hrmm.  Anyway, my comment is that the honey pipe seems so unreasonably large that I'm curious of the source and the math.  I found figures for honey production in US, in pounds, did not convert it to volume or look up other values but it's hard to imagine it is correct in relation to ketchup, mustard, and mayo.  Grocery stores sell honey in smaller bottles and much less often, than the others.  Factory bakers and makers of cereal use a little honey but not much; it's so much more expensive than corn syrup or even sugar.  Restaurants use all those other products at much higher volumes.  McDonald's has honey at breakfast for biscuits but it's rarely requested, versus how many gallons per day of ketchup they must use per store, just on burgers, let alone packets given away.
