It's where you hold the bottle when you drink it. Keep your pinky in the air. Everyone will know you are a gentleman / lady. |

You’re telling me I’m supposed to stop before the loop? |

Wait do non-canadians not have the little sixth digit on their hands for carrying these bottles??
Sadly, no...Our heads also don't flap about when we talk. |

Syrup used to be stored in large, thick, clay jugs, a gallon or more. These vessels were pored by means of resting them on your shoulder and hooking a finger (or two!) into the loop for control. These smaller bottles have vestigial loops.
Now it's just good enough for hanging a fancy price tag. |

Dunno origin, but id throw a rope or small chain into loop and attach next to saddle of my horse or maybe belt of my pants, so i'd keep it around all the time. It's for carrying.
Do you even have a horse? Or pants? |

In Canada, the maple elfs are the ones that collect the syrup. After the great syrup catastropy of 1909, we learned the hard lesson that the elf rings (that is the technical name for these loops) could not exceed a standard unit elf-span. In Canada, we have a saying: "standards and codes are written in syrup. " |

The jugs were not that small and the loop was much bigger. I had my first drink of alcohol out of a stone jug. It was moonshine and the jug had originally been a maple syrup jug. |

You can also put the bottle in the microwave for a few seconds. Keep a close eye on it though, things can go bad really quickly when you do that. Edit: be sure to remove the cap first!
No, wedge that cap closed as hard as you can! Live life on the edge! |

I think the shape is supposed to be reminiscent of a gallon jug, where the handle actually fits a grown human's finger. By scaling it down we're left with a handle that feels idiotic. |

Silica is a mineral. aka Quartz and it will melt. Stone jugs are made from clay and is vitrified not melted. its fired in a kiln like brick. |

Hmm. Okay. I suppose the bottle might be hot even if you don't completely submerge it. But, then what, do you hold it with a gloved hand? If it's not that hot, then why would I need a hook? I accept this is the intended use, I just don't see it being particularly useful that way. It's also possible this is just vestigial decoration from the older, larger jugs.
Heat transfer is not instant. It is proportional to the difference in temperature between the two objects. I assume you know that. Lowering the bottle into very hot water for a short time will warm the syrup. The water may be too hot to touch but the bottle is not necessary too hot to touch after being dipped. |

Found Adam Ragusea's Lemmy account.
Finally! At least Adam Ragusea probably understands that mayonnaise or sour cream shouldn't be mixed with ketchup or mustard, but should be put side-by-side with them so both are tasted separately at the same time. |
