Has regular maple syrup always been so expensive? Obviously corn syrup is always going to be cheaper but I wince every time I am out and have to drop like $12 on a small bottle.

You can thank Quebec for artificially inflating the price of real maple syrup: The Maple Syrup Mafia.

There is an episode of Dirty Money on Netflix that tells the story of The Great Maple Syrup Heist, in which $18.7m worth of syrup was stolen: This Intense Netflix Documentary About Quebec's Infamous Maple Syrup Robbery Is A Must-See For Every Canadian. This was back in 2012, before the oil price collapsed, and still a barrel of maple syrup was worth more than a barrel of oil at the time.

My grandfather used to make his own and send it to us. Because of that, I can’t tolerate the fake stuff.

My family owns some property near the Vermont/NY border and my dad worked out a deal with a local guy where he can use all the trees for their sap but he just has to give us free maple syrup. It has been a very fruitful relationship for me haha. We get gallons of the good stuff any time we need it. I haven’t paid for maple syrup in 15 or so years.

Hardly anyone serves maple syrup anymore. It’s maple flavored corn syrup. I refuse to eat that shit. Speaking of Cracker Barrel, for a long time their little bottles they served were 100% maple syrup. Nowadays, it’s a 50/50 blend with honey but does still contain maple syrup.

Around here, it's sacrilegious when a restaurant doesn't provide real maple syrup. They'd have a hard time staying in business if their main deal was pancakes, waffles or french toast.
