What's a "syrup cheater"? Just adding sugar to the acid blend instead of assembling separate ingredients?

"Cheater bottles" are bottles used for storing and pouring syrups, juices, and batches behind a bar. I copied the instructions for the Champagne acid from my bartenders' guide, and included my note for them that they can keep the acid blend in a cheater bottle the way they do syrups and juices. There is no added sugar in this case.
