Thanks for the edification, the latter post is quite clearly better researched.

Fun fact: beneath the small park in front of the Vermont Maid Building on Pine Street (where Great Harvest is) there is an absolutely enormous holding tank for the fake syrup, that is still there to this day. Before they renovated the park about five or six years ago you could still see the outline of the top of the tank if you knew what to look for. They covered it with gravel now, unfortunately.
Inside Great Harvest is a tiny plaque commemorating Vermont Maid's history there, just to left of the front door. I think it's neat that fake syrup and Maltex hot cereal were manufactured across the street from each other for many decades.

You can still see the tank on earlier passes of Google Streetview.
