Houston: The City of Syrup

I'm old, and this is sad.

When I first read the headline, I thought Houstonians consumed more Mrs. Butterworth's than any other city (in keeping with all of our fattest city recognitions).

Come to find out, the abuse of a codeine-fortified cough syrup is so widespread among youths here, that Houston has become nationally known in the rap culture as The City of Syrup.

How terribly sad.
