Oh, I got my opinions about the Hipsters, but I will spare you.
Funny thing with the ingredients, it lists walnut oil & orange oil
and a separate mention of natural flavors?
and zero percent of total fat?

Well walnut oil has a certain amount of fat content
http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fats-and-oils/589/2

4 Grams (1 Teaspoon)
40 Calories
Saturated Fat 2%
Total Fat 5g = 7%

So even if a small amount is added to each bottle it should be showing a 1 or 2 percent
amount of (Total Fat) at the very least, to just what are the unspecified "natural ingredients"
makes me suspect the accuracy of the label info.

Also most Simple Syrups have a one to one ratio of sugar to water
but if you break down the info again on the bottle

One bottle has 180g Total Servings by volume

1 Serving equals 30g
Total Carbs 18g
Sugar 18g
Sodium 0mg

Yet if this is a true simple syrup, at this ratio should have 90g of sugar per bottle
which equals 7.5g per serving.

Just for reference
100g of Brown Sugar
380 Calories
98g Total Carbs
Sodium 28mg

This bottle is listing 18g of sugar per serving?
so it is a rich simple syrup?
but then all the listed nutritional values should be double.

Looks like the label info is not true to the listed ingredients actual nutritional content
and sorry for going into detective mode here :lol:
