Is this a late april's fool?
I tried to watch the pictures but they look severely broken in my browser to a point where I can barely read anything.

Also those safety handling advices! Holy cow, I'll never gonna eat sugars again! That stuff is life-threating!

This is absolutely a real product, and those prices are also real.  Sucrose may be purchased here.

Ants love it, and your wallet will feel much lighter!

You'll also be supporting ant product manufacturers rather than your local grocery store. Who would you rather give your money to: me, or some wealthy corporation?

But why don't you offer non scientifical certified sugar. Ants won't care and it'll be a lot cheaper.

This was an April Fool's joke.

 

I was frustrated at some for disparaging my actual new product because it cost $15, so I posted a fake ad for this expensive sugar that is actually sold by a reputable chemical supply company, linked in an above post.

I'd add this at the top of the initial post so that people see it

I just can't believe some people believed I was selling plain sugar, at 40 or more times the cost, on April Fool's day, but for real.

If AntsCanada can sell five 15cm test tubes for 12 bucks, why not?
