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