Avril Lavigne out here making the syrups all complicated
I'll see you l8er boy
complex (carbohydrate) syrup: mashed potatoes.
yum. mashed potatoes is a good surup.
I just discovered colcannon, which I've been making impromptu for years but now I habe a name for it.
Obligatory serious answer to silly question: there is an alternative called gomme syrup, which uses gum arabic as a thickener. Drinks made with it are supposed to have a richer mouthfeel, but it's a pain in the butt to make and goes bad relatively quickly without preservatives, so I've given up on trying to keep it around. I think that qualifies as a complex syrup.
isn't that just a flavored syrup
is it?
I think so.
Anything more than sugar and water will make it complex?
Tastes awful but it’s got codeine in it 
yes I ordered it using my stupidphone, and to be honest I thought it was pretty whelming
If we're saying complex as in flavor, some maple syrups are multilayered and delicious.
I love maple syrup. stuff of the gods.
ok its no longer called simple syrup. it will now be known as peasant syrup.
and we are looking down our noses at that disgusting peasant syrup.
