Sweet! (Work/child safe)

Jokes about white sugar are sweet. But brown sugar? Demerara



One of my more refined jokes, I think (see what I did there? Man, I'm so funny)

Demerara is, of course, a refined brown sugar.

I guess my talent is wasted here. Fine, I'll get my coat...........

Now, that you explain it, it's a pretty clever joke.

The problem is, I think, that many like myself have never heard of demerara sugar, so even after looking it up, it still drew a blank.
