When buying natural products, it’s important to know exactly what you’re consuming. Honey is often called “liquid gold,” but its popularity means many store-bought versions aren’t pure. You may have seen videos online claiming there’s a quick way to tell the difference just by flipping the bottle.
The “Bottle Flip” Method
A common tip circulating on social media says: “Turn the honey bottle upside down—if it moves slowly or barely flows, it’s real. If it runs fast like water, it’s fake.”
It seems like a clever trick, but while there’s some truth in the idea, it isn’t foolproof.

- Real honey: Pure honey is thick, so a bubble rises slowly when the jar is inverted.
- Fake honey: Diluted with sugar syrup or water, it flows quickly.continued on the next page
