Real maple syrup is far better but a 16oz bottle costs like $5, kinda pricy for some...

Wholeheartedly agree on the syrup. Fake syrup tastes like shit! D:
Also, Never cheap out on your motherboards. I surely regret buying my Biostar A770E.

Computers in general. If you go into a Best Buy and get the cheapest $300 piece of shit they sell, expect to replace it in a couple years.

But you need far less and the point is, no matter how cheaper the crap stuff is, it tastes like crap.

Used motor oil is even cheaper by volume than Log Cabin, and ketchup spiked with hot sauce is cheaper than salsa. So what? For some of us there is no substitute for the good stuff.

Five bucks a pint will only break the bank for the undeserving poor, anyway. Let them eat ramen! ;)

Additionally, smart consumers can find better deals that $5 a pint. I think I payed ~$7 for 32 oz, shipped. Whatever I payed, it was more than worth it to me!

But, hey, if you can continue to tolerate that high fructose sludge, more power to 'ya! :p
